This was good, but next time I'm doubling the jalapeno. It wasn't spicy enough.

Couldn't really taste the jalapeños. Next time I'll leave in the seeds or double the amount.

Who'd thought it! The combination of flavors was wonderful; can't wait to have an occasion to make again.

Someone mentioned not being able to find the Chinese powder. Look for Asian or Oriental powder.
I made this last year for a brunch (2009) at Christmas time and it was a hit. Will be making again this year. Very different from any other dips I've made. The spicy with the sweet is a great combination!
