Oriental Dipping Sauce is a sweet and spicy sauce that is popular in Asian cuisine. It is typically made with a blend of sweet and savory ingredients, such as plum jam, garlic, and mustard. The sauce can be served as a dipping sauce for egg rolls, chicken wings, and other appetizers, or used as a glaze for grilled meats and vegetables.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, combine the red plum jam, garlic, dry white wine, dijon-style mustard, and dry hot mustard powder.
2.	Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the jam has melted and the ingredients are well combined.
3.	Continue to cook the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes, until it has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded together.
4.	Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before serving. If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water.
