MY KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE
This is my own version of dipping sauce. The best version is my mom's, but since she never measures and is too swift in the kitchen to get down the exact proportions (she always gives me amounts like it should be THIS much in your palm) what am I supposed to do with that kind of measuring system? This is the next best thing and second best is just as good, right? ;-)

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together and let sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors blend.
- This will be heavy in the green onion department, so if you don't want as much, cut it down a little, but we love them and the green onions are what all of us go for first.
- This is great with any kind of steamed or fried dumpling (like Chinese dumplings or Korean mandu).

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar and then taste. Adjust the flavor to suit your palate to arrive at a tart-savory balance. Add the sesame oil. For extra oomph and a thicker sauce, add the garlic, sesame seeds, scallion, and/or chile. Set aside for a good hour to allow the flavors to bloom.
KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE
This is a traditional dipping sauce that can be found in many restaurants throughout Korea. I first had it at a golf course in Daegu. I like to add hot pepper paste, but that would be your option. This is great with gyoza, yaki-mandu, dim sum, egg rolls, etc. Can also be used as a marinade for seafood and meats. Be careful how long you marinade your seafoods as the vinegar will denature the proteins (cook them) rather quickly.
