ASIAN ESSENTIALS: AWESOME DIPPING SAUCE
This really is an essential dipping sauce for things like pot stickers, eggrolls, and other Asian related items. I got it from a chef that worked at Chiam's in Chicago's Chinatown when I was just a kidding. That does not make it any type of state secret. It basically has the elements of a tangy sauce with just a hint of sweet that you will find in most similar sauces. Sadly, Chiam's no longer exists, it was torn down several years ago and replaced with a bank. Gone in reality; preserved in my memories. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- You will need a saucepan and a good non-reactive jar to store it in.
- Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If stored correctly (in the fridge), it should last 6 - 8 weeks.
- The sugar in the recipe mitigates the tartness of the vinegar and tamari; however, sometimes I prefer it tart, so I leave the sugar out.
- If you are looking for a good eggroll recipe, look no further: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/main-course-pork/chef-andy-s-cooking-class-the-perfect-eggroll.html?r=4
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Add the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat.
- When it comes up to a simmer, remove from the heat, and add the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Then allow to come to room temperature before storing.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Use as a dipping sauce for your favorite Asian foods. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: CREAMY MISO DIPPING SAUCE
This recipe turned out to be an all-nighter. It started out as a dressing for a mess of greens, then a short time later I decided it was going to be a coating for baked chicken. Then, as the sun was illuminating the Eastern horizon, it finally wound up as a dipping sauce for chicken wings or tenders. Or, drizzled over some...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. You can make your own mayonnaise (I usually do); however, I do not wish to over complicate this recipe. So, a good store-bought mayo will work fine. If you are feeling on the healthy side, you can substitute the mayonnaise with a product called, Vegenaise. It is a vegan version that is really good.
- 3. All About Miso Paste White Miso: The mildest of the four. It is made from soybeans that have been fermented along with a large percentage of rice. Depending on how it is fermented the color can be from white to a light beige. Of the four, it has a sweet taste, and great for salad dressings and light sauces. Yellow Miso: Yellow miso is traditionally made from soybeans fermented with barley and a small percentage of rice. It can be yellow to light brown in color. It is mild, with earthy flavor notes, and works well in condiments, soups, marinades, and glazes. Red Miso: Made with soybeans fermented with barley or other grains, though with a higher percentage of soybeans and a longer fermentation period. It can range in color from red to dark brown. The deep umami flavor of red miso can overwhelm mild dishes, but is perfect for hearty soups, braises, and glazes. Brown Miso: Made almost entirely from soybeans, with a long fermentation time, this miso is the strongest and saltiest of the four. The color can range from a deep brown to almost black. Because of its strength, it does not work well in dressings or light sauces. I do find it works with beef and pork dishes. Additional Note The depth of color with any particular miso can also tell you something about its flavor. Generally speaking, the darker the color, the longer it's been fermented and the stronger it will taste. So, check the actual color of the paste for an indication of how mild or strong it is. One More Thing Miso is very salty, so make sure you taste it before adding any additional sodium.
- 4. You can make the dressing a day or two before serving. Just make sure it is tightly covered and refrigerated.
- 5. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 6. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl.
- 7. Whisk together until smooth.
- 8. Do a final tasting for proper seasoning before serving.
- 9. PLATE/PRESENT
- 10. Serve with a plate of chicken tenders, wings, or just drizzle over some yummy baked chicken. Enjoy.

SWEET & SPICY ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE
This simple sauce can be thrown together with items most people have in their pantries! Great for dipping potstickers, Spring rolls or Summer rolls. The Asian hot sauce in the ingredient list below can be subbed with Asian hot chili oil, if you prefer. I like to use Sriracha Hot Chile Sauce.

ASIAN ESSENTIALS: AWESOME STIR-FRY/DIPPING SAUCE
This is one of my go-to Asian sauces for using in a stir-fry, or as a dipping sauce. It has a pleasant sweetness to it, that is balanced by the vinegar and lemon juice. The Sriracha sauce gives it a bit of heat, and you can adjust that to your own personal taste. Use it with chicken, pork, beef, or just drizzle some over a pile of freshly-cooked rice. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:
- PREP/PREPARE
- Zest the orange before squeezing it. You should have about 1 tablespoon of zest, and 2 - 3 tablespoons of juice.
- When it comes to the sriracha sauce, I would start with one teaspoon, and then add more, until you achieve your desired heat level.
- If you do not have Sriracha sauce, you could substitute chili sauce, or you could leave it out altogether.
- Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
- Add the ingredients to a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Stir until it comes up to a light simmer.
- Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes, then remove from the heat, and allow to cool naturally.
- Once cooled, add the cornstarch, or arrowroot powder, and whisk to combine.
- Store in the fridge, using a tightly-sealed non-reactive container, until ready to use.
- If you are using as a dipping sauce, heat it up until it begins to thicken. If you are using it in a stir fry, it will thicken as the sauce cooks.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Use in any recipe that calls for an Asian stir-fry sauce, or dipping sauce. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
