There are no rules to what this sauce should taste like, so customize the flavors to your personal taste. That’s the best part about making a homemade sauce. Add extra chili crisp or chili crunch for an extra kick of spice. The hot water helps dissolve the sugar, but if it isn’t hot, make sure to mix enough to dissolve the sugar.Makes enough sauce for about 8-10 dumplings/potstickers. You can always make a bigger batch and store in the fridge to keep on hand. Keeps for at least a month stored in the fridge.

Mix to completely dissolve sugar.
After cooking your favorite dumplings, potstickers or wontons you can drizzle this sauce over the or dip them into the sauce.
