A vibrant green sauce made by blending fresh green chillies with coriander, lime, and seasoning. It’s punchy and fresh-tasting, somewhere between a hot sauce and a green salsa. Works as a condiment for grilled meats, seafood, or noodle dishes.

Ingredients

Rock salt
Sugar
80 g green chillies
Lime juice
6 coriander leaves
50 g chicken stock powder

Directions

Place the green chillies, rock salt, sugar, lime juice, coriander leaves, and chicken stock powder in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Taste and adjust the salt, sugar, and lime juice balance as needed.
Transfer to a jar and refrigerate.

Notes

Keeps for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
Add rock salt, sugar, and lime juice gradually, tasting as you go.
The chicken stock powder adds a savoury base. It’s a common ingredient in Vietnamese condiment recipes.
