Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp asian chile-bean paste with garlic (preferably lan chi)
  • 1 tsp red-chile oil , or to taste
  • 1 tsp sichuan-pepper oil , or to taste
  • 1 tsp finely grated (with a rasp) peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated (with a rasp) garlic
  • 1/2 tsp minced fresh mild long red chile such as holland
  • 1/2 tsp salt
