I haven’t blogged many of them, but they’re in my book to do.

Cheese Wontons With Hot Mandarin Orange Dipping Sauce
It’s the sauce that’s so spectacular. My Lord.

The sauce is like pure crack – Hot Mandarin Orange Dipping Sauce. It’s sweet, spicy and has just enough salty-soy and sesame flavor to make it so perfect. 

Then…that Sriracha kicks in.

That’s the good stuff.
