| 1. Nooc Cham (regular and vegetarian): | 2. Combine all the ingredients and dissolve the sugar completely. This works easily with stevia instead of the sugar. I use 2-4 drops. | 3. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store in tightly sealed glass container in the fridge. | 4. Vietnamese Peanut Sauce: | 5. Using a food processor or mortar, pound peanuts to a course powder. Set aside. | 6. Sieve the tamarind and water. Set aside the liquid, discard the solids. | 7. Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add garlic and stir fry about 15 seconds, until color begins to change. Toss in the pork and cook until it is cooked through. | 8. Add soybean paste and tamarind and stir until blended. Add 1/2 cup of water. Then stir in most of the ground peanuts (reserve 1 T for garnish). Add the sguar and chiles. Add water until you reach the desired texture (thick and pourable, but not watery). | 9. Serve at room temperature or warmer. Squeeze a lime over it and add the reserved peanuts. | 10. This keeps in the refrigerator for 3 days or freezes for one month. Reheat before serving. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
