Grind the chili peppers into a coarse paste in a mortar or blender. Bring the vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Then simmer for about 15 minutes until reduced to a syrup. Then add the chili paste and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, let cool slightly, and serve as a dip. This pairs particularly well with Thai fish cakes (Tod Man Plah).
