How to Make a Simple Pot Sticker Sauce

While gyoza or pot stickers are great by themselves, they become sublime with a simple dipping sauce. This sauce can be made in five minutes, but the longer the sauce sits completed, the better the flavors will meld with one another.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• ½ cup light soy sauce
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• ½ tsp hot chili oil
• knob of ginger ½-inch long
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• ground pepper to taste
• Small bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Above ingredients

1. Peel the ginger knob by scraping the thin skin off with a regular spoon. Once peeled, grate the ginger using a fine grater or a dedicated ginger grater. You want to have approximately one tablespoon of grated ginger.

2. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients.

3. Thoroughly mix the ingredients using a fork or a whisk until the oil and vinegar have been completely incorporated.

4. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.

Tips & Warnings

• Light soy sauce differs from regular soy sauce in the length it is aged and processed. Light soy sauce has a noticeably lighter taste compared to regular soy sauce. You can buy this soy sauce in your local Asian market.
• Don’t substitute low-sodium soy sauce for light soy sauce as they have radically different tastes. You can make this recipe with low-sodium soy sauce, but the flavors will differ from the original recipe.
• You can keep the sauce refrigerated for up to two weeks.
