Homemade Thai Sweet & Spicy Sauce

My husband's favorite dishes are Thai.  Before I got to know my husband, I don't really like to eat spicy food & I'm not that "Kick" with Thai food.  After years my hubby intros me to Thai dishes, I realized that he loves "hot" spicy food.  He always asked me to buy him chicken rice & Thai chicken rice(almost every day) at the stall near our place.  So, here I decided to find out the Thai sauce & the chicken rice...The sauce is REALLY great, give a try & I bet you'll like it bcos my hubby LOVES it....
