Best 8 Chinese Dumpling Dipping Sauce Recipes

facebook share image   twitter share image   pinterest share image   E-Mail share image

Chinese dumpling dipping sauce adds a spicy and flavorful kick to your dumplings. The most important component of the sauce is a good quality soy sauce. Look for a light or regular soy sauce, as dark soy sauce is too strong and can overpower the taste of the dumplings. You can also use a mixture of soy sauce and rice vinegar, or even oyster sauce, for a more complex flavor. In addition to soy sauce, common ingredients in Chinese dumpling dipping sauce include black vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, and chili oil. These ingredients are combined in different proportions to create a sauce that is both flavorful and versatile. A good dipping sauce should be slightly sweet, slightly sour, and have a bit of a kick. It should also be thick enough to coat the dumplings without being too runny. Experiment with different ingredients and proportions to find a sauce that you and your family enjoy.

Time 1h20m

Yield 15 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
water (enough for a thick, bread-like dough)
1/2 lb ground pork
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, finely-chopped
1/4 cup peas (thawed if frozen)
1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar (rice vinegar)
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix ingredients for dipping sauce and set aside.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl.
  • Put the flour and salt in another large bowl, piled up.
  • Make a dent in the top of the pile, and crack the egg into it.
  • Mix the egg into the flour.
  • Add enough water to the mixture to make a thick dough.
  • The consistency should be like bread dough.
  • In any case, don't add too much water--it shouldn't be like batter at all!
  • Turn the dough out onto the flour-dusted counter, and form into a ball.
  • (It helps to flour your hands first).
  • Place the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap (cellofane).
  • Let stand 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile mix all ingredients for filling and place in the fridge.
  • Next, remove dough and place on flour-dusted counter (or work surface).
  • Knead a bit and flatten until very thin (but not see-through or falling apart).
  • Using a large, round cookie-cutter (or bottom of coffee can or top of glass) cut three-inch rounds.
  • Don't place them on top of each other, as they could stick together!
  • Knead the leftover pieces together again and cut more rounds until there's no dough left.
  • Spoon a bit of the filling into the center of each round and fold in half (to make a semi-circle shape).
  • Seal edges with a bit of water, and use tongs of a fork to decorate the edge.
  • To prepare, either steam the dumplings (if you have a steamer) for 15 mins, or boil for 10 mins.
  • If you boil, add some oil to the water and don't overcrowd the pan--make them in batches.
  • If you like, you can fry the dumplings in a skillet or wok to brown them before serving.
  • Handle gently!

My family adores these! I call them easy because I make the filling in the food processor and use wonton wrappers in place of the homemade dough. I am including dough recipe for those who want to try it. You can freeze these before cooking for later use. You can substitute chicken or shrimp with equally good results. You can steam them or deep fry them, if desired.
