Eggplant Dipping Sauce

Thai eggplant dipping sauce is one of my all time favorite sauces to eat with piping hot sticky rice. Most Lao families will have this sauce in their refrigerator ready to be enjoyed with their daily meals. It goes with just about everything. My daughter loves to put this on top of regular white rice. In celebration of a St. Patrick's Day, my coworkers decided to have a breakfast gathering. I took this sauce to share along with newly steamed sticky rice in a bamboo container. Everyone who tried it absolutely loved it. The flavors are very unique. If you enjoy salsa or chili sauces, you will most likely enjoy eggplant dipping sauce as well. It's really easy to make. If I can do, you can too!
