Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Tuong
2 tablespoons Water
Fresh hot red chili slices to taste
1 tablespoon Chopped roasted peanuts

Directions

Mix the sugar with the tuong and water. Add some slices of the red chili pepper. Sprinkle with roasted peanuts.

Side notes: > Roasted peanuts - Add ½ cup of shelled peanuts to a very hot wok and stir until the skins turn black and scorched.

Transfer to a colander and cool (2-3 min). Wipe off skins.

Tuong - Sometimes labeled "Vietnamese Soy Sauce" in the U.S. but it is actually quite different from "regular" soy sauce.
