According to my original source this recipe is called "Nam jim priaw wahn" in Thai. And it is really nammies. It's also been the inspiration for many great sweet and sour chilli sauces.
Serves about 4
½ sweet red pepper, de-ribbed, de-seeded, and sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
2 fresh red Thai chilli, or any red chilli you like, sliced
1 cup water
10 tbs rice vinegar, or white wine vinegar
10 tbs sugar
Crush the sweet pepper, garlic and red chilli peppers with a pestle and mortar, then transfer to a small saucepan. Add the water, rice vinegar and sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
