Dipping Sauces

The original post didn’t include numbered directions — ingredients and notes are preserved as written.
This was originally a recipe for potstickers, but that one ended in disaster. I tried to make my own potsticker dough because the HEB doesn’t carry them any more. But I failed miserably and ended up cutting up wonton wrappers in a lame attempt at salvaging it all. It sorta worked, but I’m not doing it again. The one bright spot was that I collected a lot of different sauce recipes. So here they are. Potsticker Dipping Sauce
