Vietnamese Fish Dipping Sauce

This is the quintessential Dipping Sauce that is practically the national Dipping Sauce of Vietnam (or so me thinks). It goes on their Bun (Grilled meat on vermicelli), or dipping sauce for the rice paper rolls and even salads. It really tickles your taste buds.

Recipe amounts are to your liking:
Garlic
Red Chilli
Fish Sauce
Sugar
Lime Juice

Best way is to use a pestle and mortar. Pound the garlic and chilli and add the rest of the ingredients. It's supposed to be sweet, sour, salty. The garlic makes such a difference, previously i never knew we were supposed to add garlic to it, till I watched a show where this vietnamese girl was teaching the audience how to make the sauce. See, who says tv is bad for you.....hehehe.
