Ingredients

Scale
  • For Classic Soy-Vinegar Dip: 4 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chinese black vinegar (or rice vinegar)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • For Spicy Chili Oil Dip: 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chili oil (adjust to your heat preference)
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • For Ginger Scallion Sauce: 1/4 cup finely minced fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (green parts only)
  • 1/4 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Classic Soy-Vinegar Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Taste and adjust vinegar or soy sauce for your preferred balance.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Chili Oil Dip: Combine the soy sauce, black vinegar, chili oil, and grated ginger in a separate small bowl. Stir well. This is your go-to Best Dumpling Dipping Sauce for heat.
  3. Prepare the Ginger Scallion Sauce: Place the minced ginger and sliced scallions into a heatproof bowl. Heat the neutral oil in a small saucepan until it shimmers (about 325°F). Carefully pour the hot oil over the ginger and scallions; it will sizzle loudly. Let it cool for one minute.
  4. Finish the Ginger Scallion Sauce: Stir the soy sauce and sugar into the cooled oil mixture. This sauce offers a deep, savory flavor profile.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite dumplings or store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • To adjust flavor profiles, remember the goal is balance: increase vinegar for tang, soy sauce for umami, and chili oil for heat.
  • For a Gluten Free Dumpling Sauce Alternative, substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos in any of these recipes.
  • If you want a sweeter dip, add a small amount of honey or maple syrup to the Classic Dip.
