Broil tomatoes in a foil lined baking pan 6-inches from heat, turning with tongs every 3 to 4 minutes, until skins are blackened on all sides, about 10 minutes total. (Alternatively, grill tomatoes on a preheated grill, turning frequently until skins are blackened.) Transfer tomatoes to a colander in the sink to cool.
-
In same pan, broil chile and garlic cloves, turning every minute or 2, until skin of chile is blistered and garlic skins are blackened at the edges. (Alternatively, thread garlic, then chile onto a metal skewer and grill, turning frequently.) Transfer chile and garlic to plate as they are done.
-
When vegetables are cool enough to handle, discard charred skins from tomatoes and garlic and discard stem from chile.
-
Using a mortar and pestle, mash chile, garlic and1 teaspoon salt to a paste. Add tomatoes and sugar to mortar and pound to break up tomatoes. Stir in cilantro, scallions, lime juice, fish sauce, and oil.
