We went to [link|http://www.bangkokcuisine.net|Bangkok Cuisine] last night and a good meal was had by all. Even my oldest son, notoriously finicky eater that he is, enjoyed the Pad Kra Tiem. I had the Masaman (potato, onion, tofu, and peanuts in Masaman curry with coconut milk), a first for me because I invariably go for the Pad Thai, which is so delicious I find it difficult to stray. My wife had the Pad Thai, though, so all was good.

Now, the reason I'm posting involves the spring rolls. These were normal cabbage and carrot spring rolls, but I'd never had the sauce before. The sauce was clear with ground peanuts dropped on the top, and it had a slightly sweet taste with a small bite of hot peppers. Quite possibly this was one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had.

So the question is, how do I make this stuff at home? I'm guessing it's something like thin corn syrup with ground hot peppers, but I'm not a cook.
