Muoi tieu chanh

Muoi tieu chanh is literally salt pepper lemon. My mother serves this condiment, a mixture of these three ingredients, with all kinds of dishes. I've had it with: boiled chicken, rare roast beef, crab and other shellfish, and lightly fried tofu. I've found that it enhances sauteed bell peppers and makes strong tasting fish more palatable. For those who cannot eat salt, the lemon and pepper are pretty good by themselves.
