A dumpling really needs to have 3 great things: a flavorful filling, a chewy wrapper, and a perfect sauce to bring it all together. This is my go-to sauce recipe for boiled or steamed dumplings that’s salty, sweet, and gives you a little kick from the sriracha and raw garlic.
Materials:
Sesame oil – make sure you’re using toasted sesame oil. The sesame oil intended for cooking doesn’t have the same fragrance that toasted sesame oil does.
Sugar – the sweetness helps balance the savory.
Sriracha – a little extra spice! If it’s too spicy for you, leave it out.
Dip away!
