  ~- Mix the sugar with the tuong and water.  Add some slices of the red
  chili pepper.  Sprinkle with roasted peanuts.
  ~- Side notes:
  > Roasted peanuts - Add 1/2 cup of shelled peanuts to a
  very hot wok and stir until the skins turn black and scorched.
  Transfer to a colander and cool (2-3 min). Wipe off skins.
  > Tuong - Sometimes labeled "Vietnamese soy sauce" in the U.S. but it
  is actually quite different from "regular" soy sauce.
