Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon water hot
- 2 Tablespoons black vinegar Substitute: balsamic vinegar. You can use a white vinegar like white rice vinegar if you're making a Japanese dipping sauce or a Korean one, Chinkiang variety
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Optional
- Chili oil I use ½-1 Tablespoon of LaoGanMa. You can also use sliced fresh chilies.
- sesame seeds lightly toasted. ½-1 teaspoon is more than enough.
- garlic minced
- spring onions sliced
Instructions
- Add the hot water to the sugar in a small bowl. Stir.Note: The order is important, as we need the heat from the hot water to melt the sugar. If you dilute the hot water with the (not hot) soy sauce etc, the temperature will go down and the sugar may not melt.
- Next, add the rest of the ingredients.Note: for longer storage, don't add the fresh ingredients (fresh chili, fresh garlic, spring onions etc) till just before you want to serve.
- Use immediately or store in the fridge.
