I left out the chile, because I thought my daughter might like this sauce, otherwise. She didn't, but the adults sure did. :) She has no taste! I loved the tang of it. Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.

Loved this brown tangerine dipping sauce. Has a salty taste in it with a hint of spice. Used dried chili pepper in it. Wonderful combination with spring rolls. It'll be a keeper. Thank you, MarraMamba :)

This has a slightly sweet and tart taste. I like the surprise of the tangerine. I used an arbol chile and found that the sauce "cleared" a little upon sitting for a while. Thank you Marra!

Excellent! This was spicy and wonderful. I made this as directed and also made Marra's Recipe #259023 which was very mild. Served them both with potstickers. They went together very well. Both are keepers in my book. Thanks Marra.
