How to use it
Every noodle stall puts a set of four little jars on the table: sugar, chilli flakes, fish sauce and sliced chillies in vinegar. Thais taste the soup first, then season it, ปรุงbprung, to their liking, and many add a spoonful of sugar.
Start small with the chilli flakes: they're stronger than they look.
