Prepare the sauce: Mix the fish sauce, lime juice and sugar in a bowl till the sugar is dissolved. In a mortar and pestle (or using a food processor), crush together the chilis, garlic and coriander to form a paste. Add the paste to the lime juice and fish sauce, and mix well. Adjust the seasoning: the primary flavors are spicy and sour, with a salty and sweet note. You may also add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water to dilute if the sauce is too strong for your taste.
20 minutes (or up to 30 minutes) before serving, pour the sauce evenly over the fish slices and let marinate in the refrigerator. Serve immediately.
