Dipping Sauces

/ rcrossranch

This was originally a recipe for potstickers, but that one ended in disaster. I tried to make my own potsticker dough because the HEB doesn’t carry them any more. But I failed miserably and ended up cutting up wonton wrappers in a lame attempt at salvaging it all. It sorta worked, but I’m not doing it again.

The one bright spot was that I collected a lot of different sauce recipes. So here they are.

Potsticker Dipping Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar (sub with cider vinegar, white vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small clove garlic, very finely minced
  • minced fresh chili peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients.

Chinese Black Vinegar Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Chinese Chinkiang black vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil

Peel the ginger skin off and discard. Use a vegetable peeler and peel thin slices of ginger. Use a chef’s knife to further cut these thin slices into slivers. You’ll need about a teaspoons worth of ginger. In a small dipping bowl, mix together the black vinegar, sesame oil and ginger.
