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.
