Default vietnamese brown sauce

i'm not vietnamese but we have a brown sauce that we use on our fresh
spring rolls (filipino lumpia) -- we call it "paalat" -- roughly "to
make salty" but it's actually sweet. basically a mixture of soy
sauce-chicken stock (or any liquid used in cooking the veggies for the
spring roll)-sugar-cornstarch. the brown sauce is poured on the spring
roll and topped with minced garlic and chopped peanuts. hth.
