A question for dumpling affectionados; what's your favourite dipping sauce? I've got a bunch of dumplings and similar foods for a lunch tomorrow and need to make up some dipping sauces to serve with them.

Bought I love the poonsin viet spring roll sauce. Or hot XO. Otherwise a similar one is sugar syrup, reduced orange juice& chilli. Or soy with sesame oil. Plum is pretty good. As is a really hot chilli paste cut with good old dead horse and a dash of lime.

Can't go wrong with chilli, soy and mirin. Add chopped spring onions or sesame seeds if liked. Also, plain mayo is pretty good too - okonomiyaki vibes. Since I was gifted with the bottle of pomegranate molasses, I've been using that in dipping sauces instead of mirin and it sure packs a punch. Might have to find another bottle when this one runs out. Aldi sells a balsamic vinegar-based fig glaze that makes a nice dipping drizzling sauce too.

I like either black vinegar for fried dumplings, or a mix of soy and chilli for steamed. Mmmm yum dumplings.

Equal parts soy and rice wine vinegar and a bit of sesame oil on top.

Also some fresh chilli and spring onion or chives put them in it's great.

I like the dumplings with Hot n Sour soup as a dip.
