For this year’s Independence Day celebration, I am doing a small plates dinner outside, where we can eat and watch the fireworks from the nearby country club. Doing several types of Dim Sum (steamed beggars pouches, pork siu mai, and pot stickers); and to further mix it up, there will be a tapas bar. Here are three of the sauces that I am making. All of them are great; just depends of your tastes. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
