Chef's Tip


*Use organic products wherever possible. Organic produce and products can be found in the organic aisle of any major grocery store or health food stores. 

*You can use red chili peppers in place of the thai chilis and chili flakes if desired. If using, use about 3 tablespoons of minced red chili peppers. For a spicier sauce, keep the seeds in the peppers, for a milder sauce, remove seeds.

*Wear gloves while handling chili peppers. Alternatively, if not wearing gloves, wash hands well under warm soapy water to ensure the oils are washed off. Do not rub eyes or nose while handling chili peppers.

*Fish sauce can be found in the international aisle of most grocery stores.
