Directions

NO. 1 - Chili oil dipping sauce

This dipping sauce is simple and basic. It showed up in my videos many times, such as Egg Dumplings, Fried Crispy Wonton, Shrimp Siu Mai, Pork & Celery Dumpling. It is quick and easy. Especially when I just finished filming a video and I am exhausted, This sauce just comes in handy. It goes good with almost any kind of dumplings.

NO. 2 - Sesame peanut dipping sauce

You will find this dipping sauce in Sha Xian Xiao Chi (沙县小吃), which is a popular chan all over china. It is non spicy and kids friendly. Not only you can serve it with dumplings but also it is great for noodles, hot pot, and satay skewers. I love the sweet and nutty taste. It does add some heaviness to the dumpling though. You might want to have some drinks at the same time.

NO. 3 - Spicy soy dipping sauce

This is very common, kind of like a home-style all-purpose dipping sauce. Not only you can use it for dumplings, but we also use it for hot pot (it is great for meat and seafood). Oh, it can also be a meat marinade sauce.

NO. 4 - Vinegar ginger dipping sauce

This is a special dipping sauce that you will find in soup dumpling restaurants. It is very light but refreshing. It brightens up the dumpling itself, which is perfect for soup dumplings because you want to be able to enjoy the broth. Of crouse, it is good for regular dumplings as well.

NO. 5 - Garlic vinegar sauce

This is a northern Chinese style dumpling dipping sauce - lots of garlic and vinegar. Smell amazing and the flavor is perfect. I love it so much.

NO. 6 - Scallion ginger dipping sauce

This sauce is originally served with Cantonese white cut chicken, which is a traditional dish from the south of China. But I found it goes so good for dumplings as well. It is full of scallion flavor. Smells incredible and intense. The best part is that it doesn’t cover the meat flavor. It is good when you want to enjoy the dumpling itself. It is a lot of ginger but it is not hot at all. It tastes quite gentle so you can serve it for people that don’t eat spicy food.
