Had lunch today at my favorite Chinese restaurant, Royal China, on Veterans. On every table they supply soy sauce and these condiments:



Clockwise they are hot chilli oil, plum sauce, hot mustard sauce and the last one I think is called ponzu, or something like that.

What do you put these on? I like soy sauce, plum sauce and hot mustard on egg rolls.

What do you put them on?

top right - typically dipping for egg rolls

bottom right - spicy mustard to put on whatever you don't want to ever eat again

bottom left - not sure

top left - chicken or beef dishes?

Hot mustard on the beef spare ribs, the dark one with the scallions in there I put on the paper shrimp, and I put duck sauce on the salt & pepper shrimp

I gotta get back to Ms. Shirley's soon...

None of those look like ponzu.

Did you know that the recipe is simply ground mustard and water?

Yeah, I looked it up and ponzu is Japanese, not Chinese. What is it called, then?

And I think maybe that bottom left sauce may be intended for pot stickers.

If I get a shrimp dish, I will sometimes dip the shrimp in the hot mustard. Keep napkin handy; it usually makes me sneeze.

Don't use the others.

I mix the duck (yellow syrupy) sauce with hot mustard for egg rolls and fried wontons, though I prefer a sweet chili sauce with hot mustard.

The soy looking sauce with green onions looks like the sauce that usually comes with the steamed or fried dumplings. I just drop a little hot chili oil in that one. I love the dumplings.

I don't normally use any of the sauces with entrees I order.

You can put a little hot chili oil on/in your lo mein or other noodle dishes to spice them up a bit. I don't use it, but I've seen some of my Asian relatives do it.

mixture of mustard or wasabi and soy on most all meats, spring & egg rolls. I don't eat the sweet stuff on anything.

It looks exactly like the dipping sauce I get with pot stickers here. Usually has slivers of ginger in it too. I think it might be called gyoza sauce?
