Step 1

Squeeze the seeds from the tomato. Run the cut side back and forth over a box grater until you’re left holding the core, stem and most of the skin. Repeat with the other half.

Step 2

Add the remaining ingredients, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Taste, and adjust the seasonings as necessary (add more chile and nam pla or a little salt). Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
