Recommend serving with cucumber rounds or red bell pepper strips. This is a flavorful appetizer. I have only had the chance to serve this once but I had great success with it. Gourmet Magazine Ingredients:

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce |

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 green onion, chopped |
2 whole star anise (optional) |
