Easy Potsticker Sauce
Nothing beats a tangy yet sweet sauce to dunk potstickers in. It’s literally the best sauce for all sorts of Asian dumplings. I actually prefer this over dim sum dipping sauce.
If you love Chinese dumplings, you’ll love them even more with this vinegar based sauce. You can make it as spicy as you like also!
Those irresistible potstickers pair perfectly with a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and red pepper flakes.
You can add more or less vinegar depending on how tangy you like it. You can also add more or less red pepper flakes depending on how you tolerate spicy food.
This sauce is so simple, you just toss all the ingredients into a bowl and stir it up. And did I mention it’s insanely good!
So grab your dumplings and whip up this easy pot sticker sauce today!
