Hey, Man's Best Friend.......don't feel bad. I do buy some sauces and stuff but around here to get a good Oriental sauce, I"ll pay $5 or more a bottle! I just can't see paying that when I can make it myself and use things I have around the house anyway! The only thing in Larry's recipe I'll have to buy is sesame oil and that's good thing to have around since I can do more things with it.
