            Syd Bigger
       1 c  Oil For Deep-Frying
       4 oz Dried Green Jalapeno Peppers
       1 c  Chopped Shallots
       1 c  Chopped Garlic
       8 oz Dried Shrimp
       2 tb Shrimp Paste
     1/3 c  Fish Sauce (Nam Pla)
     1/4 c  Sugar
  
   This dip will give any food a much richer taste, and add spiciness.
   ~------------------------------------------------------
   ~----------------- Heat a small pan with the oil and deep-fry the
   dried peppers, shallots and garlic until dark brown. Place the fried
   ingredients with all the others in a blender, and process until a
   smooth mixture forms.
   
   Pour the entire mixture into a medium skillet and fry on medium heat
   for 5 minutes.  Remove, cool, and place in a jar with a tight fitting
   lid and use as needed. It will keep indefinitely.
