Here you go Bart, not one but TWO different Thai chilli sauces.

Sauce 1

3TBS Mirin
3TBS White wine vinegar
3       Spring onions, finely sliced
1TBS Sugar
2       Red chillis, finely chopped
2TBS fresh corriander leaf chopped finely
Large pinch of salt

Just mix it all together in a bowl and leave to rest for at least half an hour. It is important to get the ingredients how you want them in the preparation stage as they are only mixed.

Sauce 2

3TBS Sugar
120ml Water
120mi Red wine vinegar
1TBS THai fish sauce
4 Red chillies chopped

Mix sugar and water in a pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then bring to the boil.
lower heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the rest of the ingredients and set aside.
serve.

I guess that you could make this a day or two in advance and keep in the fridge when it has cooled.

At least you have a start to play with now.

Cheers

Hi Bart ,
Here is yet another version -

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 lime, juiced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon red chili paste, such as sambal

In a blender, puree the rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, hot water, sugar, lime juice, garlic, and chili paste until combined.
