Quick sauce for anything really...

I have a staple seasoning sauce that i pretty much use on anything. Its good (at least to me) on fried stuff, as a dipping sauce, or marinade for meat for stove, grille, and baking. Just adjust it to taste.

a estimate of ratios is listed below... i am waiting for a business call while writing this
  • ~ 1/2-5/8 Lemon Juice
  • ~ 1/8 Fish Sauce (can be omitted if you don't have any)
  • ~ 3/8 Soy Sauce
  • some pepper
  • if you would like add a tiny bit of sesame oil too.
I like to get red leaf lettuce or tomatoes and dip leaves whole leaves or slices of tomatoes into a little bit of sauce. Marinate ground beef and cook it in the pan. Use less fish/soy sauces for a less salty taste. Great with fried dumplings or fried whole fish. mmmm

i can't think of a substitution other than salt. my mom always uses it in place of salt. my mom usually substitute it with soy sauce and lemon.
