Ginger and Vinegar
Ginger and vinegar sauce is a unique and flavorful dipping option for dumplings. The sourness of the vinegar mixed with the sharp zing of the ginger creates a full-bodied sauce that adds to the dumpling experience. Another great part of ginger and vinegar dipping sauce is that it is very easy to make!
Ingredients for 2 servings:
- 3 tablespoons of black rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of ginger- minced, grated, or julienned
- A dash of dill to add freshness
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon of honey. If the sauce is too sour or overwhelming, adding some honey can help balance the sauce out.
Garlic and Vinegar
Similar to the ginger vinegar sauce, this garlic vinegar sauce is extremely flavorful and robust. This delicious smelling and tasting sauce is not just used for dipping dumplings but can also be used as salad dressing and more!
