   Combine fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar in a small bowl. Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, then add the jalapeño rings and mix thoroughly before setting it aside.

2. 2

   Combine soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, and cilantro in a small bowl. Mix well and let it sit for later use.

   Get the grill ready for cooking by either using a charcoal or gas grill. For a charcoal grill, ensure the vents are open and light up the charcoal until it reaches a medium-hot temperature where you can hold your hand 5 inches above the rack for about 4 to 5 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat the burners on high with the hood closed for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to moderately high before cooking.
