Ginger Scallion Soy sauce

Now this little number you can also get from any chinese restaurant when you order steamed or fried dumplings. In addition to dipping the dumplings into it, you can also use it to marinade your burgers while cooking them. It will add a very sweet but tangy flavour to the burger!! Quite delicious!

Ginger Scallion Soy Sauce:



1 small piece ginger, about 2 ounces
2 scallions (green onion)
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon spicy Chinese chili red paste (optional)


Peel ginger and cut into small pieces. Press about 1/2-inch piece of
ginger in a garlic presser and squeeze ginger juice and small bits
into a medium size bowl. Grate another 1/2-inch piece into same
bowl. Finely chop the scallions and place in the same bowl. Add all
other ingredients and mix well. Adjust by tasting and enjoy this
fantastic Chinese dumpling dipping sauce.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
