I lived in Philly and often went to Chinatown for dim sum. I loved the dipping sauce served over the Cheung Fun. I hunted for that particular sauce recipe for over 10 years. I made every Chinese sauce recipe I could find, and the recipe remained a mystery to me. Then one day I tried yet another Chinese dipping sauce... and THERE IT WAS! I finally found it. I like to use this sauce when I make pot stickers. I have noticed it changes flavor overnight in the refrigerator. Making a big batch is not a good idea. It's fairly easy to make, though it is more involved than the making of other Chinese dipping sauces. I'm happy to prepare a batch each time I want some. Here's the recipe for this very special and quite unique flavored dipping sauce. If you've eaten dim sum in Philadelphia's Chinatown, you'll agree... this is the sauce.
bon appetit
