Nuoc Mam Gung
 
5cm piece ginger, peeled
2 Tbsp caster sugar
2 birds eye chilis
2 cloves garlic
1/2 lime, peeled and sectioned
2 tbsp Nam Pla (fish sauce, available from oriental supermarkets)
 
Put the lot in a food processor and whizz until liquid.  Taste,
and add more lime/Nam Pla if you think it needs it.

Note: A Thai sauce used for dipping or as a kind of salad dressing
(in small amounts; it's HOT!).  At home we often have it with prawns
grilled with garlic and chilis and a salad made from lettuce, finely
sliced onion and cilantro.
