This dessert is a take-off on Bananas Foster, the simple yet spectacular tableside dessert made famous in the 1960s and the 1970s along with cherries jubilee!
2 dried red chilies, stemmed, seeded, and soaked in hot water until soft
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Using a mortar and pestle, grind together the dried chilies and the garlic to form a rough paste. Stir in the sugar until well incorporated. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
