3 tablespoons finely-minced lemongrass (fresh or frozen-prepared)
3 tablespoons sherry wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1 thumb-size piece ginger, galangal or 1 thai ginger, grated
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 fresh red chili, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed chili
1/2 tablespoon coursely-ground black pepper
2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation

With a pestle & mortar crush together the lemongrass, garlic, ginger and chili together into a paste, then stir in the other ingredients.
