Soy sauce and black vinegar, half and half, a little hot chili oil and chopped scallion, that's my favorite dipping sauce.

The only one I don't have is the oyster sauce, because I'm not fond of it. I do have fish sauce and hoisin sauce.

My chili paste is chili paste with garlic, it gives a double kick. It has to be used sparingly or it'll blow the top of your head off.
