Savory Dumpling Dipping Sauce – Quick & Flavorful
A good dumpling is only as great as the sauce you serve it with. This savory, slightly spicy dumpling sauce is an easy homemade recipe you can whip up in just minutes. Whether you’re eating potstickers, gyoza, wontons, or even spring rolls, this sauce will elevate every bite.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp sesame oil
½ tsp sugar
1 tbsp chili garlic oil
1 green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds

Step 1: Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and chili garlic oil. Stir until the sugar dissolves and everything is well blended.
Step 2: Add Garnishes
Stir in the sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if using. The green onions add a bit of freshness and crunch that balances the sauce’s richness.
