Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 green onion (finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoons water

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, granulated sugar, sriracha, toasted sesame oil, and minced green onion. Mix thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired flavor consistency. Stir well after each addition.
  3. Taste the sauce and adjust any ingredients as needed to achieve your preferred balance of sweet, savory, and spicy.
  4. Serve this delicious sauce immediately with your favorite dumplings, spring rolls, or drizzle over rice for an extra flavor kick.

Notes

– For an extra layer of umami, add a pinch of MSG or mushroom powder to the dumpling sauce. It really deepens the flavor without being overpowering.
– If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of water or omit it entirely. For a thinner consistency, simply add more water to taste.
– Store leftover dumpling sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a good stir before serving, as ingredients may separate.
