Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili garlic sauce (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the mixture. Stir well.
  3. If you want a spicy sauce, mix in the chili garlic sauce now.
  4. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. Add more vinegar for tang or more sugar for sweetness.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite dumplings.

Notes

  • For a richer, umami flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce with 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce or mushroom soy sauce.
  • If you do not have fresh ginger or garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, though fresh is recommended.
  • This sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.
  • For steamed dumplings, a thinner sauce works best. For fried dumplings, you can add a small amount of cornstarch slurry (1/2 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tsp cold water) to thicken it slightly.
