Frequently Asked Questions
Yeah, that could happen with this type of ingredients. But here’s a hack for you! Dissolve a teaspoon of sugar into a tablespoon of water, then add in the rest of the ingredients. You can also use low sodium soy sauce.

Store your homemade dumpling sauce in an airtight container, or a jar, for about a week (give or take).
List of Simple Ingredients
Garlic: Raw garlic is a key ingredient in this recipe and makes the base of the sauce. There is no skipping that garlic clove!
Soy sauce: Any regular soy sauce would do just fine. However, opt for low-sodium soy sauce, or light soy sauce, if you want it less salty.
Chinese black vinegar: If this ingredient is not within reach or available, then a teaspoon rice vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or balsamic vinegar would do wonders with Asian cuisine.
Sesame oil: This ingredient brings forward a deliciously nutty flavor. A teaspoon sesame will get you a long way, trust me!
Chili oil: Keep in mind that this ingredient is optional. You can keep, remove, or substitute it with red pepper flakes, hot sauce, or Chinese-style chili garlic sauce.
