Nuoc Leo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vietnamese soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 -3 slices fresh hot red chili peppers, slices to taste
1 tablespoon chopped roasted peanuts, see note

Preparation

Mix the first three ingredients then add some slices of the red chili pepper.
Sprinkle with roasted peanuts.
To make the peanuts add 1/2 cup to a very hot wok and stir until skins are black and scorched.
Cool 2-3 minutes in colander. Skins should wipe off.
Vietnamese soy sauce is called Tuong or Toi sauce. It is a salty bean paste. IF you do not find it you can make a sub by blending equal parts bean sauce and water
Do NOT use American or Japanese Soy Sauce. It won't be right.
