Egg Roll Dipping Sauce
Description
The Egg Roll Dipping Sauce relies on a harmonious blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar to deliver a combination of savory, sour, and sweet notes. Corn starch is used to thicken the sauce, while sesame oil adds a subtle nutty aroma. Ground ginger and powdered garlic and onion contribute to the sauce’s layered flavor. The ingredients are whisked together in a saucepan and heated just to boiling to meld the flavors and activate the thickener. Removing the sauce quickly after boiling ensures a thin, glossy consistency, but boiling a little longer results in a thicker sauce. This gives control over the texture to suit preference.
The sauce is intended as a dip for sausage egg rolls, providing a bright and slightly thickened coating that enhances their savory filling. It pairs well with egg rolls as a complementary contrast in flavor and moisture.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Whisk together all ingredients in a small saucepan. Turn heat to medium low and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Remove from the heat immediatley after the sauce comes to a boil for a thin, glossy sauce. For a thicker sauce, let the sauce boil for 20 seconds or so.
- Serve with sausage egg rolls.
Notes
- You can adjust the sauce thickness by varying how long you boil it after it reaches a boil.
- Serve freshly made for best texture with egg rolls or other fried appetizers.
