FABULOUSLY SIMPLE ASIAN DIPPING SAUCE



Fabulously Simple Asian Dipping Sauce image

A wonderful, easy dipping sauce for Asian appetizers, such as Won Tons or Chinese dumplings. No exotic ingredients--you likely have everything right in your kitchen. Its good as is, but feel free to experiment and add your own special touches. I've even drizzled this lightly over plain plain grilled chicken to give it a subtle Asian twist. A generous spoonful into your favorite stir fry will make it pop with this simple touch. I've even made it up and kept it in a jar in the fridge, and added a tsp to plain beef or chicken broth for a low cal change of pace when sipping a cup of broth.

Smoked Shrimp With Chile-Lime Dipping Sauce image

Set out these Thai smoked shrimp on a paper-lined picnic table, set a bowl of sauce in the middle, and go to town. A great shrimp recipe for a bbq.

Provided by Leela Punyaratabandhu

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 pounds jumbo (21 to 25 per pound) or extra-jumbo (16 to 20 per pound) shrimp, left whole
1 Tbsp. salt
1 Tsbp. ground white or black pepper
15 green bird's eye chiles, or 8 jalapeño or serrano peppers, sliced
15 cloves garlic
1 cup fresh lime juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. granulated sugar
¼ cup fish sauce
¼ cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and stems

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the shrimp with the salt and pepper, coating them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Meanwhile, start the sauce: In a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, lime juice, and salt and blend until the bits are the size of a match head. Transfer to a small bowl, cover, and keep at room temperature.
  • Heat a smoker to 225°F. Rinse the seasoning off the shrimp and pat dry with paper towels. Place the shrimp in the smoker and smoke until they turn dark coral, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • While the shrimp are smoking, stir the sugar and fish sauce into the sauce, then taste and adjust the seasoning with more fish sauce if needed. Aim for sour and hot first, then salty and just a tad bit of sweetness. Stir in the cilantro.
  • Serve the shrimp with the sauce.

BASIC DIPPING SAUCE



Basic Dipping Sauce image

Categories     Sauce     Side

Yield makes about 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup fresh lime juice (2 or 3 limes)
1 tablespoon unseasoned Japanese rice vinegar (optional)
3 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup lukewarm water
5 to 6 tablespoons fish sauce
2 or 3 Thai or serrano chiles, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, vinegar, sugar, and water and stir to dissolve the sugar. Taste and adjust the flavors to balance the sweet and sour as needed.
  • Add the fish sauce, starting out with 5 tablespoons and then adding more as your palate dictates, balancing the sour, sweet, and salty. How much fish sauce you use depends on the brand and your own taste. Aim for a light honey or amber color and a bold, forward finish. Keep in mind that this sauce is typically used to dress dishes that include unsalted ingredients like lettuce and herbs-ingredients that will need an extra flavor lift. When you're satisfied, add the chiles and garlic. (If diners are sensitive to chile heat, serve the chiles on the side.)
  • Put the sauce on the table so that diners can serve themselves, or portion it out in advance for serving. It may be prepared early in the day and left at room temperature until serving.
  • Sizing Up Dipping Sauce Dishes
  • Small, cute dishes are good for plunging little morsels of food into sauce. But if you are dunking a bundle of food wrapped in lettuce or a hand roll, you need shallow bowls three to four inches in diameter.
  • Buying and Juicing Limes
  • Look for limes with smooth skins. They are juicier and easier to work with than fruits with dimpled, tough skins. Before juicing, use your palm to roll the limes back and forth on a firm work surface. This breaks down the membranes, which allows you to extract the maximum amount of juice from the fruit. Because I like pulp in my sauces, I use an old-fashioned handheld reamer for juicing. If your juicer filters out the pulp, start with a scant measurement of what is called for in a recipe, as you won't be working with the extra bulk contributed by the pulp. You can always add more juice when making final adjustments.

Tips:

  • For a vegetarian version of the dipping sauce, substitute vegetable broth for the fish sauce.
  • If you like your dipping sauce with a bit of a kick, add a teaspoon or two of Sriracha or sambal oelek.
  • For a sweeter dipping sauce, add a tablespoon or two of honey or agave nectar.
  • If you want a thicker dipping sauce, simmer it over low heat for a few minutes until it reduces slightly.
  • Store the dipping sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

This fabulously simple Asian dipping sauce is the perfect complement to any Asian-inspired dish. It's quick and easy to make, and it's packed with flavor. Whether you're using it for spring rolls, dumplings, or grilled meats, this dipping sauce is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and versatile dipping sauce, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
