Potsticker Sauce Recipe

Carolyn Richardson
Potsticker sauce is more than just a dip – it’s an experience. I first stumbled upon this sauce at a bustling dim sum restaurant. The moment I dipped that crispy dumpling into the sweet, savory mix, I was hooked.

Equipment

  • Medium-Sized Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup tamari or low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar or Chinese black vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • A pinch of crushed red chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

  • Start by assembling all the ingredients on your counter. A clean workspace always makes cooking more enjoyable.

Step 2: Combine the Sauces

  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the tamari (or soy sauce), rice wine vinegar, and toasted sesame oil. These are the core components of your flavor profile.

Step 3: Add Sweetness and Spice

  • Sprinkle in the maple syrup and pinch of crushed red chili flakes. Use a whisk or spoon to stir until the mixture is smooth. This step brings the sweet and spicy elements into play.

Step 4: Punch it Up with Aromatics

  • Next, add the finely chopped green onions, grated ginger, and garlic powder. These ingredients add a depth that will elevate your sauce. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  • Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds. These little seeds not only look great but also add an extra crunch.
  • And voilà! Your potsticker sauce is ready to shine.

Notes

Here are some helpful tips to ensure your sauce is top-notch:
  • Use Fresh Ginger: Opting for fresh ginger instead of powdered can enhance the aroma and freshness of your sauce.  
  • Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, increase the amount of maple syrup slightly or reduce the soy sauce.  
  • Let it Sit: Allowing the sauce to sit for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavor as all the ingredients meld beautifully.  
  • Experiment: Don’t hesitate to play with flavors! Try adding a splash of lime juice for an extra zest.  
  • Storage: Always refrigerate any leftover sauce. It keeps for about a week in an airtight container.
