A quick and easy dipping sauce that perfectly balances salty, sweet, and tangy flavors to complement crispy dumplings. Made with simple pantry ingredients, this sauce is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • A pinch of chili flakes (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Measure out the soy sauce (3 tablespoons / 45 ml) and pour it into your mixing bowl.
  2. Add rice vinegar (2 tablespoons / 30 ml) to the soy sauce.
  3. Stir in sugar (1 teaspoon / 5 grams) until fully dissolved.
  4. Add sesame oil (1 teaspoon / 5 ml) carefully.
  5. Finely mince 1 small garlic clove and add it to the mix.
  6. Grate about 1 teaspoon (2 grams) fresh ginger directly into the bowl, if using.
  7. Sprinkle in a pinch of chili flakes (about 1/8 teaspoon) if desired.
  8. Whisk everything together vigorously until sugar dissolves and ingredients blend into a smooth sauce.
  9. Stir in chopped green onions (1 tablespoon / 6 grams).
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning: add more rice vinegar or water if too salty, or more sugar if too tangy.
  11. Let the sauce sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

Use low-sodium soy sauce for better salt control. Fresh garlic and ginger provide the best flavor. Adjust chili flakes to taste for desired heat. Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature and stir before serving. For gluten-free option, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Variations include adding honey and sriracha for a sweet and spicy twist or skipping sesame oil for an oil-free version.
