1/2 teaspoon dried chile flakes

2 cloves garlic -- coarsely chopped

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup Chinese red rice vinegar

1 green onion -- thinly sliced

1 tablespoon cilantro leaves -- coarsely chopped

Pound first 4 ingredients to a paste with mortar and pestle, then dissolve in vinegar.

Alternatively, put it all in a blender and blend until smooth. Float the green onions and

cilantro on top.
