We really enjoyed this sauce with some spring rolls. I will now have this as a staple in my house. Really delicious! -
I halved the recipe with ease and served with dumplings. The sauce is refreshing and the ginger really shines through! Liked by both adults and kids and a nice change from your stand by dipping sauces. -
This is different than the dipping sauces I have had in the past. It was good but the fish sauce was kind of strong in it.It may have been the brand of fish sauce. I might get a different brand and try this recipe again. It was easy to make. I let mine set overnight. Thanks for a good recipe Engrossed. Made for the Feb '08 Bevy tag game.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
