wesleysgirlWhen we used to get scallion pancakes and pan fried dumplings from the (American/)Chinese restaurants near our house, they would come with a little cup of dipping sauce. I think the sauce was soy-sauce based, but it wasn't as salty as soy sauce. It had a really nice tang to it, and sometimes little bits of something, maybe scallion, floating in it. There might have been ginger in it, as well. Can anyone tell me if this dipping sauce has an actual name?

Date: 2008-11-22 02:08 am (UTC)* 1/4 cup thin soy sauce
* 1/4 cup Chinese chinkiang vinegar
* 1/4 cup sliced scallions
* 1 teaspoon minced ginger
* 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
* 1 teaspoon sugar
Combine all ingredients.
There is a different one here...and here...and here.
I tend to just do some soy sauce with crushed garlic and some rice wine vinegar or maybe a bit of sesame oil if I have it on hand...when I have fresh ginger on hand sometimes I do that with soysauce...depends on what I have on hand ;)
