This is a quick condiment that delivers bright flavor without fussy technique; all five ingredients are stocked at every Charlotte grocer, and a single serving yields enough sauce for multiple meals. Fish sauce is the only ingredient some cooks balk at, but it's a pantry staple at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger, and costs under three dollars. The stated ten minutes is honest—basically just zesting, juicing, mincing, and whisking—and the sauce keeps refrigerated for a week, making it endlessly useful as a dipping sauce, marinade, or taco topping. The only real limitation is that one serving is deliberately minimal and assumes you're using this as a component rather than a standalone dish.
