A perfectly balanced, savory, and tangy dipping sauce that elevates any dumpling or potsticker to restaurant quality.

  • Total Time: PT5M
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons light soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinkiang black vinegar
1 tablespoon chili oil with flakes
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, combine the light soy sauce and the Chinkiang black vinegar.
Step 2: Add the granulated sugar to the bowl and whisk vigorously until the sugar is fully dissolved into the liquid.
Step 3: Stir in the finely minced garlic and grated ginger, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
