Most all Chinese take outs have packets of duck sauce, soy sauce, and
Oriental mustard too... but duck sause is just sweet, not sour at

they will give you a tiny plastic cup of their home made Oriental
mustard that is far more potent than the infantile musturd in the
packets. There are infinite versions of oriental dipping sauce.
