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 - You can also use tamari soy sauce which is an excellent alternative.
Note 3 - sugar can be; coconut sugar, brown sugar, palm sugar or regular white sugar.
