Gyoza Sauce
The addictive Gyoza (dumpling) sauce is usually sold premade in bottles at the Asian food store. We love it so much and go through it so quickly that I had to find a recipe to make at home. This is a very basic recipe, so feel free to adjust amounts to your taste, or add ingredients like garlic, ginger, wasabi, and green onions. If the sauce has too much bite from the vinegar, add a pinch of sugar. This is also good with a splash of hot chili oil if you are so inclined. Enjoy!
