2. Roast the coriander, cumin, chili flakes and shrimp paste in a dry wok or non-stick pan until very aromatic. Grind to a paste with the garlic, ginger and sugar.

3. Cook the seasoning paste in the oil for 2-3 minutes. Pour the liquid with chilies, over the seasonings. Simmer gently until the oil separates and the liquid is well reduced, about 20 minutes.
