Submitted by tgobbi

"This recipe for Chinese salad dressing comes from Henry Chung's Hunan Style Chinese Cookbook. Henry's restaurant, Hunan, on Sansome St in San Francisco is my all-time favorite! The cookbook is long out of print but you may be able to find it through an internet used book site."
