Dumpling Dipping Sauce

This dumpling dipping sauce is so much more than just flavored soy sauce. A mixture of soy sauce and rice vinegar that's been flavored with ginger, garlic, scallions, and a little chili sauce, it's perfect for dipping and drizzling on everything from grilled veg to scallion pancakes to egg rolls.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce* or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 scallion, finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce (optional)

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, scallion, garlic, cilantro, ginger, and chili sauce.
  • Let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, if possible, to let the flavors meld together. The longer the mixture rests, the more intense the flavor becomes. You can store the dipping sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

*Can I make dumpling sauce gluten-free?

You can make it gluten-free by using a gluten-free tamari or soy sauce. Make sure to read the label carefully because not all tamari sauces are 100 percent gluten-free. If you have a soy allergy, you can use coconut aminos to make the sauce. While coconut aminos are too sweet for stir-fries, it works well for the dipping sauce, where a hint of sweetness is balanced by the other ingredients.
