Recently, it was my Dad's birthday and he requested a Chinese feast for dinner. Whitesnake and I haven't done much Chinese cooking but I think we did a pretty good job. This week I'm sharing the dipping sauce recipes, I'll share the other dishes we cooked at a later stage.

Asian Dipping Sauces
2 tablespoons chilli powder
 |
| This sauce qas quite hot |

The easiest way to prepare the sauce is to mix all the ingredients in a jar and shake.

| This was our favourite sauce |
Sesame seeds or green onions (optional)
Soy Sauce
Pour soy sauce into a small bowl. The amount should be appropriate to the amount of finger foods you'll be serving.
Whisk in the chili oil. If that doesn't work, try using some type of plastic storage container and shake the ingredients vigorously.
To serve, put the sauce in a small serving dish. Top with sesame seeds or chopped green onions
Nuoc Cham, A Basic Asian Dipping Sauce
• The Vietnamese have a simple dipping sauce that is known for bringing all elements of Asian dishes together, balancing between spicy, sweet, sour and salty.
• In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons sugar and a half-cup water, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Adjust the lime juice and sugar to taste. It should balance between sour and sweet.
• Stir in 2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce and one finely minced garlic clove.
• The color should be a light honey or amber hue for the perfect balance of flavor.
Enjoy
