    About Gyoza Dipping Sauce

    Gyoza Dipping Sauce is a quick and easy sauce that can be served with Asian gyoza, potstickers, or dumplings. It is savory, tangy, and slightly sweet with a hint of spice.

    This homemade vegan gyoza sauce just needs 1-minute and no cooking to come together. The homemade dipping sauce is much better, fresh, and more economical than the store-bought ones too.

    The traditional gyoza sauce is prepared with just vinegar and soy sauce, but my recipe has a few more simple ingredients that make it absolutely flavorful and delicious.

    Our quick gyoza sauce recipe is for a single serving. You can scale the recipe and make small individual dipping bowls so that everyone can enjoy their own.

    Ingredients

    Gyoza dipping sauce ingredients

    You just need a few Asian pantry staples to make this Asian dipping sauce – dark soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, brown sugar, garlic, and fresh ginger.

    Try to use Japanese soy sauce (Shoyu) in place of regular soy sauce for a very authentic flavor. Japanese soy sauce is made by fermenting soybeans and wheat with salt and water for several months to several years, producing a rich, savory liquid with a complex, umami flavor. Kikkoman is my favorite brand.

    You can use replace soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.

    Use lemon juice, lime juice, regular white vinegar, white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar if rice vinegar is not available.

    Sesame oil gives this sauce a very Asian flavor. Try to not replace it with any other oil.

    Adjust the chili flakes and sugar to suit your taste.

    The store-bought sauce has some xanthan gum added to it which makes it very stable and prevents it from separating. It is a natural ingredient and has no side effects. You can also add ⅛ teaspoon of xanthan gum to your homemade gyoza sauce recipe to prevent it from splitting.

    How To Make Gyoza Dipping Sauce

    Stir together

    • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
    • 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • ¼ teaspoon brown sugar
    • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
    • ½ teaspoon grated ginger

    in a small mixing bowl.

    Do a taste test and adjust to suit the sauce according to your taste.

    All the ingredients added to a bowl.

    Allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

    Ready gyoza dipping sauce.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What else can be added to gyoza sauce?

    You can add other ingredients, such as hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, ponzu, or miso, to create a more complex flavor.

    You can also add some finely chopped green onions or sesame seeds to this recipe.

    Add more or fewer pepper flakes as per your heat tolerance. You can also use red chili powder, chili paste, chili oil, sriracha sauce, or sambal oelek instead of chili flakes.

    A little honey or maple syrup gives a subtle sweet taste to the sauce that also tastes good.

    If the flavors are too strong, then dilute the sauce with some water.

    The key is to experiment and find the right balance of flavors that suit your tastes.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve Gyoza Sauce with Japanese gyoza, wontons, potstickers, spring rolls, egg rolls, crab rangoon, or your favorite homemade dumplings.

    You can also top your stir-fried rice, noodles, omelets, or savory crepes with this sauce as well.

    You can also add this dumpling sauce to your stir-fried vegetables or blanched greens.

    It is also great as a salad dressing.

    Storage Suggestions

    Do not store the sauce that you have already used for dipping. The unused sauce can be stored in an air-tight container for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator. Mix it well before serving.
