Wash your hands thoroughly after handling sliced bird's eye chillies to avoid burning skin or eyes.

In a mortar, combine 5 tbsp fish sauce and 2.5 tbsp palm sugar. Pound with pestle until dissolved. Add 6 sliced bird's eye chillies and crush lightly. Squeeze in juice of 1 lime, add 1 tsp chilli flakes, then tear in 1 handful each of Thai basil, coriander, and mint. Pound gently to release aromas.
