Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Scallions (Green Onions), sliced diagonally
  • 1 Large Garlic Clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Brown Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all the ingredients are accurately measured and ready. Cut the scallions diagonally, mince the garlic, and grate the fresh ginger to prepare for combining.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place a small saucepan on the stove and add the low-sodium soy sauce, water, seasoned rice vinegar, sliced scallions, minced garlic, brown sugar, and grated fresh ginger into it.
  3. Whisk The Mixture: Using a whisk, stir the mixture thoroughly, making sure to break up and fully dissolve the brown sugar into the liquid until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Heat Mixture: Turn the stove to low heat and gently warm the sauce mixture. Stir occasionally and avoid bringing it to a boil. Maintain a gentle simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Rest And Serve: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce rest for a few minutes to thicken slightly and enhance the flavors.
  6. Enjoy: Your pot sticker sauce is now ready to serve. Use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings, drizzle over stir-fries, or as a flavorful marinade to add a burst of taste to your dishes.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness and make the sauce healthier.
  • Do not boil the sauce; a gentle simmer is sufficient to meld the flavors.
  • Fresh ginger and garlic are key to achieving the signature flavor; avoid substitutes if possible.
  • Allowing the sauce to rest after heating helps it thicken slightly for better coating.
  • Adjust the amount of brown sugar to balance sweetness based on your taste preference.
