Description
A simple, tangy, mildly sweet, and salty dipping sauce perfect for potstickers, gyoza, egg rolls, and other Asian appetizers. Made in under five minutes with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of sugar.
Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (or Chinese black vinegar)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey)

- Mix in the sliced green onions, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds.
- Whisk again just before serving. Serve with potstickers, wontons, egg rolls, or similar dishes.
Notes
- Use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
