vietnamese caramel sauce
This sauce is used in many Vietnamese dishes. You can use regular sugar but it can be a little trickier if you do let the sugar get to a caramel color and don't stir it while it's browning. The light brown palm sugar comes in round hard pieces about the size of a cookie but thicker. You can get them at Asian markets.
