Peppercorn-Coriander Root Flavor Paste

• 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
• 5 to 6 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
• 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped coriander roots
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon Thai fish sauce

1. Place the peppercorns in a mortar with the garlic and pound to a paste.
2. Add the coriander roots and salt and pound to a paste.
3. This will take 5 to 10 minutes; if you have a small blender or other food grinder that can produce a smooth paste, use it instead.
4. Stir in the fish sauce.
5. Store in a well-sealed glass jar; this keeps for 4 days.
