You haven't asked?

So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness."

So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Have you considered asking?

I mean, it COULD be oyster sauce. Or something else. Somthing traditional, that an informed egullet member might recognize and tell you about in this thread... But then again, it could just be a sauce that the cook made up him/herself, and thus the only chance you have of figuring this out, is to ask at the restaurant -- and by so asking, you'd even pay some respect to the cook by taking an interest. Win-win situation.

Go ask em. And report back.

I use several of the sauce recipes found on

This Asia Recipe site.

The "Universal Sauce" found just below the potsticker dipping sauce, is excellent with vegetables and tofu.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett
