suprising thai dressing

I made this as an afterthought to be a salad dressing for greens and cucumber slices to serve with Thai rice and trader joe's curry chicken tenderloins

.5 c rice vinegar
1.5 t sugar
1 t palm sugar
juice of half a lime
a few slices of a red chili pepper
1 t soy sauce
a tiny splash of sesame oil

combine all ingredients in a small sauce pan over medium heat - bring to a boil and simmer for a few minutes
transfer to a small container and stick in the ice maker in the freezer to cool in order to serve right away

This ended up being a smooth, slightly thickened, tasty dressing. It worked on the salad, and the chicken , and the rice. It would probably work as the main dressing for a variation of teryaki sauce.
