Method

If using wooden skewers, soak eight of them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them burning over the barbecue or under the grill.
Make the dipping sauce by heating the sugar, rice vinegar and salt in a small pan, stirring occasionally until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add the garlic and chilli, pour into a serving dish and keep warm.
