Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 pinch Red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Scallions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger to measure 1 teaspoon. Mince the garlic clove into very small pieces.
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to slightly dilute the sauce, if desired, to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce.
Stir everything together until the honey or sugar is completely dissolved and the ingredients are evenly mixed.
For additional flavor and texture, mix in finely chopped scallions and toasted sesame seeds, if using.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more honey for sweetness, rice vinegar for tanginess, or red pepper flakes for heat.
Transfer the dipping sauce to a serving dish and pair it with your favorite dumplings, pot stickers, or spring rolls.
