Here’s to a very Happy Lunar New Year to you my Galley folks. Thanks for stopping by my little galley by the sea where we will be enjoying a feed of little dumplings with tasty tangy dipping sauce. It’s a spicier variation of the sauce I make for Reuben sandwiches, lovely as a salad dressing too (it dressed my carrot slaw) and is also perfect for dipping, dunking or drizzling.
….peace and love…
