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.
