       6 tb Chinese black soy sauce
                                            
       4 Scant tablespoons Chekiang-vinegar or white rice-vinegar                                                      
       4 1/2 ts Sugar
                                                   
       3 tb Sesame oil                                                  

       1 tp Chili oil or cayenne pepper or Tabasco 
           
       [If ganashyam is going to eat this, leave this out !!]
                                                   
       Mix all.  Process just to blend, pour into a bowl and let stand until
       the sugar is completely dissolved.                                                                                                                       
       NOTE:  The Chenkiang vinegar mentioned is somewhat similar to a thick
       malt type vinegar though it has more flavor.  It has quite a unique
       and good taste.  Any good Chinese market should have it.
