Method

Place the coriander, shallot and garlic in a metal bowl. Sprinkle in the sugar, without mixing it in. Heat the oil in a small saucepan until it starts to lightly smoke. Pour the oil into the bowl. Add the soy sauce and lime juice and combine.

This very aromatic sauce is a lovely green colour and is quite unusual; it is my favourite.
