Soy Dipping Sauce

Sometime for snacking or meal time I like to eat some steamed tofu or dumpling. And I like to enjoy it with spicy dipping sauce. So here is my favorite dipping sauce that I often made. It’s very easy yet delicious.

Eat with fried tofu

This is a good recipe for Chinese cuisine

Getting some things off my fridge, like this. Great with gyoza or homemade spring rolls or eggrolls. You may want to add a tbsp or 2 of water for gyoza dipping.

Having egg rolls one night but didn't have any of our usual store-bought sweet & sour sauce. So I made this. Family LOVED it, so we no longer buy bottled sauce.

This sauce is not only delicious with mandu, potstickers, egg rolls, wonton, and gyoza, but it's yummy with your steamed rice, as a dip for satay or other meat skewers, or as a dressing for an Asian-inspired cold noodle salad when mixed with a little toasted sesame oil and an additional acid element like a squeeze of lemon or extra rice vinegar.Or, if you ask some of the people who've tried this recipe before, as shots. :PThe recipe makes about 1/3 cup and can be doubled one-for-one.

I needed a dipping sauce for my chicken

It's perfect on any deep fried seafood!

You can change this quick and easy recipe to suit your own taste, or the food you're pairing it with, simply by using a different flavor of marmalade.

I love the wings at Joseph's Pizza and tried to recreate the sauce they use on their chicken. This is what I came up with.

I modified a recipe for mentsuyu that my mother taught me.Step 1: Adjust the sugar to suit your tastes. If you don't have time, you don't need to let the ingredients sit in the fridge for a day.If you dry-fry/parch the simmered bonito flakes, they will become "furikake" (rice seasoning).. You can also use this as soumen sauce. (Thin it out a little bit more for soumen than you would for soba.) Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
