- SWEET CHILLI SAUCE: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Stir over a low heat until sugar dissolves. Add ginger and chilli, and simmer 3-4 minutes, until mixture becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add mint, juice and fish sauce.
- Preheat oven to slow, 150°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
