chinese take out: It's so dam sweet n delicious n u only get a tiny lil cup n I wanna know how to make the same sauce you get w/ dumplings at chinese take out places...anyone work at one?|||If you want the actual sauce you can follow the recipe below. Black vinegar are available at most Asian stores. The Black vinegar is not as sour as apple cider or white vinegar. If you can't find Black vinegar, you can use sushi vinegar instead (if you can't find either - use distilled/white vinegar, but lessen the amount to taste). Chinese Dumplings (Jiaozi or Potstickers) Dipping Sauce Ingredients: 3 tablespoons black rice vinegar 2 tablespoons light soy sauce optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger optional: 1 teaspoon finely grated garlic optional: 1 teaspoon mirin (sweet rice wine) or Sugar optional: 1 teaspoon chili sauce - not the red kind (or use Tabasco sauce) optional: 2 -3 dashes sesame oil (to get that real Chinese flavor sauce but, if you don't have, you don't need to add) Preparation: Mix all black rice vinegar and light soy sauce and add one or more of the optional ingredients. Let the dipping sauce infuse a few minutes before serving.|||Hmmm, this could be tricky as dipping sauces vary with dumplings and the main one shouldn't really be too sweet. Jiaozi, the standard japanese dumpling tends to be eaten with a dipping sauce made with soy and rice vinegar. I occasionally add a little sesame oil to mine...or if i'm making a batch, could bash garlic and chilli to a smooth paste with a little sugar and salt, before combining with the soy sauce and rice vinegar for a slightly hotter sauce. In dim sum restaurants, you often get a little plate with a take on sweet chilli sauce, this is a sweeter orange coloured sauce and your best bet is to find a bottle at your local asian supermarket.
