This is just one of the unique and highly flavored creations of the owner/chef/founder of the Five Spice Café (R.I.P.) in Burlington VT.(one of our favorite towns in New England.) Over a span of many years, we ate there on every visit ,and I was lucky enough to be given this recipe on one of those delicious occasions. It is very quick to prepare, as it all comes together in a food processor. Essentially an Asian mayonnaise, it can be used to dress a noodle, vegetable or protein salad, to spread on a bao or sandwich, or as a dip for crudites,Shrimp, dumplings or fried chicken. This is not at all hot-spicy, but if you want it fiery, carefully add some chili paste, sriracha, or dry chile flakes.
