 | Could it have Sesame paste (Tahini) as one of the ingredients or the dressing itself??? Tahini separates with the oil rising to the top of the paste as described early in the tread. It is available in both 'black" from black sesame seeds and white ( a tan colour) from the light coloured seeds. zhi ma jiang [芝麻酱]) also known as Zhao zi in Guangdong and southern provinces. I use all the time for my salads but I discovered this before I came to China It can usually be purchased on supermarket shelves these days, if not then health food stores. This is popular as a condiment for Hot Pot and other meat dishes. Origins of the Sesame Seed not clear but Middle East most likely as it was used for centuries as an oil for lamps. <While the exact circumstances surrounding sesame's arrival in China may be lost to history, there's no doubt that today it is a mainstay of Chinese cuisine. Toasted sesame seeds are sprinkled on salads, sesame paste is added to sauces, and delightfully aromatic sesame oil is used to flavor everything from dips to marinades.> Let's know if this is what it was.......................... |

| GUEST05617 | hi i live here in spain and enjoy the salad dressing every week on the salad its main base is rice vinegar. In torremolinos there is a chinese shop selling chinese products and in the fridge they have containers of this sauce but only has a week shelf life but may be worth going in there and asking.will try prising the info out of my restaurant owner i will let you know if it is succesful |

| GUEST23375 | I am searching this site for a similar reason as I have just come back from Turkey and have had the most amazing salad dressing in a chinese. The dressing I had was watery is consistency it was a light flavour not vinegary or tangy and appeared to have a hint of ginger and maybe lemon but obviously some other ingredients. Any ideas |

| GUEST14444 | I don't think it had sesame paste in as that it quite strong tasting and I'm sure I would've been able to taste it. Like another poster said, I think the main ingredient is rice wine vinegar as when it seperated it was clear at the top, the sediment at the bottom was a milky colour. I was told it had a long life though as long as it was kept in the fridge, I had it for a couple of months and it still tasted great. Regards Dee |

| GUEST29227 | I know the exact stuff. I asked in a restaurant and they said it was normal white vinegar with pineapple juice and mayo and other spices. |

| GUEST64122 | jabarootoo, the dressing that is being discussed is the normal dressing available at most Chinise restaurants along the Costa del Sol, there is nothing quite like it, have been told by local Chinese restaurant owner that they import it from their home land, like the other person DeelightUK, I have tried many many times over several years to obtain the recipe, it is a taste to its self and is very delightful it really enhances a Chinese salad which is presented so different in appearance. |
