Step-by-Step Instructions
- Roast and peel the peanuts.
- Remove seeds from the chili peppers and finely chop. Peel the garlic cloves.
- Grind garlic, chili, and peanuts in a mortar and pestle until smooth. The finer the peanuts are ground, the more aromatic and flavorful the dipping sauce will be.
- Add sugar to the mortar and grind with other ingredients. You can also add seasoning powder and salt to balance the flavor.
- Once all the ingredients are finely ground, transfer them to a bowl. Then, add fish sauce, kumquat juice, and filtered water, and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- If you prefer a thicker dipping sauce, you can mix a little cornstarch with water, then add it to the fish sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Let it cool before serving.
Finished Product
