Sweet & Spicy Asian Dipping Sauce

Submitted by Kozmic Blues

"This simple sauce can be thrown together with items most people have in their pantries! Great for dipping potstickers, Spring rolls or Summer rolls. The Asian hot sauce in the ingredient list below can be subbed with Asian hot chili oil, if you prefer. I like to use Sriracha Hot Chile Sauce."

Great and easy recipe. I made as written and only used 1-1/2 Tbsp of the sugar. I was sorry I didn't have any green onion to throw in...I will make this again. Thank you for the recipe, it's a keeper.

Made a version of this and my daughter loved it. I have small dipping cups and had to triple the soy sauce to have enough for 4. Only added a small amount of Siracha, decreased sesame oil and sugar. Only used about 1/3 of rice wine vinegar. Tasted as I added a little at a time. Excellent flavor! So, base is very good but mine is a new version.

I made this last night and used it to dip store bought eggrolls. Deeelish! I might cut back to 1 tsp for the chili paste. I'm thinking of using it as a base for hot and spicy thai soup. Thanks Kozmo!

This is great! Modifications: Braggs Liquid Aminos (Soy Sauce), Stevia (sugar). Served it with "Is It Egg Roll or Eggroll" recipe from this website. EXCELLENT!

Very Good! I used scallions and added some fresh grated ginger. Used just a pinch of sugar! Thanks!
