Time 6m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 Tbsp Korean soybean paste ((DoenJang))
1 1/2 tsp Korean chilli paste ((Gochujang))
1 Tbsp sesame oil
3/8 tsp minced garlic
3/8 tsp minced onion
3/4 tsp toasted sesame seeds
3/4 tsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp coarsely chopped pistachio nuts ((about 15 to 18 shelled pistachio nuts. You can use other nuts instead if you prefer))
1 tsp sesame oil
A pinch fine sea salt
A pinch ground black pepper
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp water
2 tsp white sugar
1 tsp white vinegar
A thin slice of onion (to be added in a serving plate)
A dab of wasabi paste ((from a tube) - to be pasted on the side of a serving plate)

Steps:

Mix the above ingredients in a bowl together. Distribute out to individual dip serving plates as needed.
Add the above ingredients in a serving plate directly. If you need to serve for more people, make them individually in a separate dip serving plate. (This is how my mum used to do it at her restaurant. You don't mix a big batch in a bowl.)
Mix the first four ingredients from above in a bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Distribute the sauce using a spoon (1 Tbsp measuring spoon works well) to an individual dip serving plate as needed.
Add the sliced onion in the sauce and wasabi paste on the side of the plate.

MY KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE

My Korean Dipping Sauce image

This is my own version of dipping sauce. The best version is my mom's, but since she never measures and is too swift in the kitchen to get down the exact proportions (she always gives me amounts like it should be THIS much in your palm) what am I supposed to do with that kind of measuring system? This is the next best thing and second best is just as good, right? ;-)

Time 15m

Yield 1 batch of sauce

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman)
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon rice vinegar or 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon korean red pepper paste (Gochujang) (optional) or 1/2 jalapeno pepper, sliced (optional)

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together and let sit for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving to let the flavors blend.
This will be heavy in the green onion department, so if you don't want as much, cut it down a little, but we love them and the green onions are what all of us go for first.
This is great with any kind of steamed or fried dumpling (like Chinese dumplings or Korean mandu).

KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE

Korean Dipping Sauce image

There are many ways to tweak a dipping sauce for Korean mandu (pages 44 and 46). The base is on the light side and great on its own, but you can add a variety of extras for more complexity and body.

Yield makes about 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/4 cup Korean, Japanese, or light (regular) soy sauce
3 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons garlic, minced and crushed into a paste
1 teaspoon toasted white (hulled) sesame seeds
1 small scallion (white and green parts), thinly sliced
1/2 medium-hot chile, such as Fresno, Holland, or jalapeño, thinly sliced

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar and then taste. Adjust the flavor to suit your palate to arrive at a tart-savory balance. Add the sesame oil. For extra oomph and a thicker sauce, add the garlic, sesame seeds, scallion, and/or chile. Set aside for a good hour to allow the flavors to bloom.

KOREAN DIPPING SAUCE

Korean Dipping Sauce image

This is a traditional dipping sauce that can be found in many restaurants throughout Korea. I first had it at a golf course in Daegu. I like to add hot pepper paste, but that would be your option. This is great with gyoza, yaki-mandu, dim sum, egg rolls, etc. Can also be used as a marinade for seafood and meats. Be careful how long you marinade your seafoods as the vinegar will denature the proteins (cook them) rather quickly.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. For example, use fresh garlic and ginger, not store-bought powder.
Adjust the sauce to your taste. If you like your sauce spicier, add more gochujang or chili flakes. If you like it sweeter, add more sugar or honey.
Don't be afraid to experiment. Once you have a basic recipe down, start experimenting with different ingredients and flavors. Try adding different herbs, spices, or fruits to the sauce. You might be surprised at how delicious it can be.

Korean dipping sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of dishes. Whether you're dipping dumplings, vegetables, or meat, this sauce is sure to add a delicious and flavorful touch. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you love. So next time you're looking for a new way to add flavor to your meals, give Korean dipping sauce a try.
