About

This is a bright sauce filled with flavor that I love to serve with dumplings and even shrimp cocktail. It’s also a light and delightful marinade for chicken or fish. I also make a quick veggie tofu stir-fry dish using this sauce whenever my vegan friend Kelly comes over and she always asks for seconds.
