  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp hot-red-chili-flakes
  • 2 cups thinly sliced carrots

  • 3 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint

Instructions

  • PREHEAT barbecue to medium. Whisk granulated sugar with lime juice, fish sauce, garlic and hot-red-chili flakes in a large bowl. Stir in carrots and radishes.
