Steps
1
Combine water and sugar in a bowl. Optional: heat 1/3 of the water, then mix in to make dissolving the sugar easier, then add the rest of the water.
2
Add lime or lemon juice in increments until you like how it tastes. A good guide is it should taste like lemonade/limeade.
3
Add fish sauce in small increments until you like how it tastes. It should be a little strong since it will be paired with unseasoned food.
4
Top with garlic and chilies then serve.
