Hey Thai food lovers, help me out.

My wife was in Kansas City this week, and last night her group ate at a Thai restaurant. She brought me 2 bottles of sauce from the restaurant. No labels on the bottle. And she can't recall the name of the place where she ate.

Anyway the sauce is good and I would like to recreate it. The sauce has a greenish - brown color to it. It was about as spicy as a jalapeno. The sauce has a LOT of seeds on it, and I can see small pieces of red and green peppers in it. The sauce is just a little thicker than what I would call a thin sauce. It has some sweetness to it. My wife said people were using it on stir fry. It also has a faint taste of fish sauce. I am not sure if there is any vinegar in it, but I think so.

Anybody know what this sauce might be called? Not the actual name the restaurant would use on a label, but the style of the sauce, or local name. It looked a lot like this, but with more of a brown hue. This picture calls it Dragon Sauce.... does that sound right?

Isn't the name of the place on her credit card receipt?

Nope. The company she went to visit paid for everything... I am sure she could make a call, but she is already away again with my daughter at a volleyball tournament.

Does that void the warranty on the air conditioner?

Is the sauce sweet at all? A very common Thai sauce is a tsp of salt, Tbsp sugar, 2-3 peppers and a clove of garlic in a half cup of rice vinegar. Use jalapenoes and you get a mild green version. Use ripe Thai chilies and you get a hot red sauce.

This is a curry sauce from Judith's files. I cannot vouch for it.

1 stalk lemongrass, minced
1-3 green chilies, sliced
1/4 cup minced sweet or green onion
4-5 cloves garlic
1 thumb-size piece of galangal or ginger, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 cup fresh Thai basil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3 Tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp shrimp paste
brown sugar to taste
