I don't know if this counts, but in terms of "proper" condiments I generally just stick to mayo and strong mustard, so here's a good all rounder dressing/dip/marinade I've been using a lot recently:

2 parts dark soya sauce
1 part rice vinegar
1 part sesame oil
fresh chopped chilli or chilli sauce to taste (I like Encona Original Hot Pepper Sauce and add 1/2 to 1 part)
garlic powder or paste (or a couple of roasted and mushed up cloves)
ginger is optional (personally not a fan)

EDIT, though probably far too late for anyone to notice, but I've just realised I forgot to mention an important ingredient: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of sugar (or honey, or maple, or anything sweet).

All in a jar you can close, shake well before each use, will last in the fridge for ages.

Can easily be upgraded or adjusted to taste, goes with anything you want to make taste vaguely Asian - salads or roasted/stir fried veg, noodles, rice, meat/substitute.. I love it with melted butter on sweetcorn, or on a cold rice noodle salad.

Not my creation, but my recipe. Chipotle mayo, and it is great on veggie or cheese sandwiches.

ngredients: 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon acid (I used lemon juice, but vinegar works too) 1+ chipotle in adobo sauce (I used 4) 3/4c olive oil

Directions: Put all ingredients in a wide mouth jar or beaker if you have one, ensuring your opening is large enough for your stick/immersion blender

Fully submerge a stick blender and begin blending starting at the bottom, after a short time start slowly moving the blender upward until everything is blended and the oil has emulsified into mayo.
