Spicy Asian Dressing

As promised, here is the recipe for the homemade spicy asian dressing. It`s delicious. We were really quite surprised at how well it turned out. We didn`t end up having any anchovy paste (anybody else just have that in their 'kitchen staples'?) but it was very good without it. We thought that adding the anchovy paste might give it a bit more of an "authentic" taste... I don't know. A stand-in might be fish sauce, which, of course, we now have thanks to Jerms' adventures at the grocery store!
Bon appétit!  

Ingredients
4 thinly sliced scallion whites
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste (or 1 minced canned anchovy)*
*we didn't add this and it was YUMMY just the same

Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients.
