"I think this recipe came from Canadian Living magazine, but am not sure. The whole meal (which is comprised of Recipe #239788, Recipe #239892, Recipe #239789 and Recipe #239791) embodies the Thai tradition of combining all the five tastes: sweet, hot, sour, salty and bitter in one meal."

This sauce ROCKS! Grilled the pineapple on gas grill - easy peasy. Made the sauce using sweet white onion, garlic & mint (peppermint & spearmint) from the garden. Doubled the sauce & poured it still warm over a big bowl of finely shredded garden pointy head cabbage. Tossed in the onion - finely sliced & grilled pineapple pieces & some of that "Rooster" Sirachi. This is outrageously good! Let rest for 10 minutes then we tore into it. This is a keeper - perfectly balanced - delicious! Served with Thai roasted chicken (marinated with basil & Thai spices). Will be making often! Thank you 2B's for a great one!
