Vietnamese Sweet-Salty-Spicy Fruit Dip

1. 1

   Mix fish sauce and sugar to combine. It should be saucy and grainy with a bit of undissolved sugar (which is ok). It should not be a dry paste. Add more fish sauce or water, 1/2 tsp at a time, until you get a liquidy consistency.

2. 2

   Stir in chili slices, a few at time until you get the heat that you prefer. The flavors should be more on the sweet side with the salty providing a nice counterpoint. The chilis add a kick that goes well with the sweet.

3. 3

   Serve with cut up / sliced fruit that is tart and crisp, like Granny Smith apples and not-quite-ripe mango. Since this dip is potent, dip lightly.
