Joseph asks…
Does anyone have the recipe for the Chinese hot and sweet sauce?
It is served with the braised chicken fillets at Mandarin House. I love it and I would like to know how to make it at home. Thanks
It has whole small hot peppers and chopped green onion in it.

I think that is Hoisin sauce.. Im not chinese btw, just luv to cook..
Here you go and good luck!!
3 tbsp black bean sauce
1 tsp hot chili garlic sauce
2 ½ tbsp honey
2 tsp dark soy
2 tsp ketchup
Mix together the black bean sauce with the hot chili garlic sauce and honey. Stir together thoroughly. For this recipe I used Asian Gourmet Authentic Black Bean Sauce, however, you can use any black bean sauce that you choose.
Then add the soy and slowly stir mixing it in completely. Then add the ketchup and the sauce is ready to use. Store it in the refrigerator in a container with a tight fitting lid.
Makes 1/3 of a cup. This recipe may be doubled to make extra sauce.

Carol asks…
Does a packet of Chinese hot mustard go bad / have an expiration date?
I mean the small packets that you get from restaurants, like the ketchup packets.
Dean Cortez answers:
Between the vinegar and all those long chemical compound names that none of us can pronounce lets play it conservatively Republican and say 6 months from the day of delivery. My personal experience, however, is that the two packets at the bottom of my ‘fridge stretched through all eight years of a liberal Democrat in the white house.
William asks…
Does anyone know what the black mushroom is in chinese hot and sour soup?
You know, I’m not even sure if its a mushroom. Its black and thin, and branches out. Anyone?
Dean Cortez answers:
It is called “Wood Ear” It is a fungus that grows on the outside of trees
