Traditionally used in Chinese cooking — think Moo Shu — plum sauce has a sweetand-sour taste that is a perfect complement to poultry.
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
½ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in 1 tablespoon of water. Stir in the remaining ingredients; adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve at room temperature.
