Notes
Note 1 - use as much chilli as you desire. I don't like a lot of spice so I use half a chilli seeds removed. I also prefer using the red bird's eye chilli but have a hard time finding them in America, so use green serrano's instead.
Note 2 - tamari is a gluten free soy sauce and has a really nice flavour. If you don't have tamario, regular soy sauce will do.
Note 3 - coconut sugar can be substituted for brown sugar or palm sugar, or regular white sugar if you have it.
