    Use a mortar and pestle to pound chilies and garlic into a paste.

  3. 3
    Add cilantro and pound to incorporate.
  4. 4
    Add fish sauce and lime juice to taste.

Notes

Adding a little coarse sea salt in step 1 will help to pound the chilies and garlic. Can also be made by throwing everything into a food processor and chopping to the desired consistency.
