How to Tell It's Done
- until it dissolves and is fragrant
Tips
- Fish sauce is very salty: add it a little at a time, tasting, and balance with sugar.
Common Mistakes
- A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
More Ways
- Thai red curry is based on warm coconut milk and hot red curry paste, sometimes with fish sauce; in Israel store-bought paste is used.
