Small Eureka Moment

[akirlu]

I've puddled around with trying to make a decent own dipping sauce for Trader Joe's gyoza, and never been quite happy with the result, but I think having knuckled under and finally added sugar, I may be closer to something like what I was wanting. Here, mostly for my own reference, and that of anyone else who may care, is today's recipe:



Pretty Good Dipping Sauce

1/4 C Soy Sauce
Juice of 1/2 good sized lime
2 heaping tsps minced garlic
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp Gourmet Garden Ginger Spice Blend (or comparable quantity fresh grated ginger, if you got it)

Whisk all ingredients together. Dip your damn' gyoza. Nom.

I make almost the same dipping sauce, except that I use a splash of rice wine vinegar in place of the lime. I also add a shake or two of hot chili oil.

I thought about rice wine vinegar instead, and probably would have gone with that except I already had a half a lime in the fridge leftover from the broiled cod earlier in the week. Chili oil is a great suggestion.
