Sweet'n Spicy Sticky Sauce

This is a Thai style sauce.  

It's Sweet. Sticky. Spicy. Aaand Salty. 
It's a great dipping sauce for spring rolls, lettuce wraps, won-tons, etc. 

I plan on making Empanadas shortly, and made this in advance.  
It keeps well in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.  

A note on personal preferences: 
Want sweeter? Add more brown sugar.  
Saltier? Add more fish sauce (but I don't recommend- pretty salty). 
Spicier? Beware- this can get pretty spicy pretty quickly.  I added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper.  I like spicy... and this was pretty darn spicy!!  You can always just start by adding 1/8 tsp, tasting, and adding more appropriately.
