Fabulously Simple Asian Dipping Sauce

A wonderful, easy dipping sauce for Asian appetizers, such as Won Tons or Chinese dumplings. No exotic ingredients--you likely have everything right in your kitchen. Its good as is, but feel free to experiment and add your own special touches. I've even drizzled this lightly over plain plain grilled chicken to give it a subtle Asian twist. A generous spoonful into your favorite stir fry will make it pop with this simple touch. I've even made it up and kept it in a jar in the fridge, and added a tsp to plain beef or chicken broth for a low cal change of pace when sipping a cup of broth.
