Gently warming garlic and jalapeno in oil infuses this vibrant carrot sauce with aromatic flavor, while fish sauce brings savory, funky notes and cilantro and lime add brightness.
In a small skillet, combine the oil, jalapeno, and garlic. Place the skillet over medium heat and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, add the sugar, and stir until dissolved. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool.
Add the carrot, coriander, lime juice, fish sauce, and scallion to the jalapeno mixture and mix well. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
