This is my favorite Chinese dipping sauce from my favorite chinese restaurant in the world :-) Yee Heung Seafood House in Chicago's Chinatown is great! Understated, the decor has not changed in the almost 20 years since I first ate there, the couple that runs the place are amazing people and the won ton soup - such a silly basic soup in any Chinese restaurant is elevated to a whole other level!

Ingredients
- 1 cup mushroom soy sauce or good quality shoyu shopping list
- 5 whole dried chili's shopping list
- 1/2 good sized bunch of fresh cilantro shopping list
- 3 T oil - light peanut is best here shopping list
- really that's all the ingredients but it tastes much more complex shopping list
How to make it
- Chop cilantro and put into a glass jar.
- Use the handle of a wooden spoon to crush it a bit till it's really fragrant
- You should have about 1/2 cup of cilantro or more
- Add the dried chili's - you may crush them too, but that can make the sauce go from pleasantly hot to "oh god take me out of my misery now"
- Add the soy sauce or shoyu
- Float the oil on top
- Let sit for at least a day for best mingling of flavors.
- This is best for dipping large steamed de-veined peeled shrimp
- Yum.
