--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4                    dried red chilies
   6                    dried shrimp
                        a small piece of trassi
   2      cloves        garlic
  30      ml            (2 tbsp) fish sauce
   1      tbsp          soft brown sugar
                        juice of one lime

Remove the seeds from the chilies and chop. Pound or process them  with the 
dried shrimp. Heat the trassi. Crumble it and pound with  the garlic, then 
combine all the ingredients except the lime juice  and process. Add the lime 
juice, a little at a time, so that the sauce  remains fairly thick. Store in 
the refrigerator.
