Tasty, restaurant quality Chinese Style Dumpling Garlic Sauce is just a few minutes away with this quick and easy recipe.

I’m not really sure what it is, but I love this sauce. It’s so tasty. So much so that when ordering take out, I would purposely order the steamed dumplings just for this sauce.Problem is, I didn’t really know how to make it. Admittedly the flavors of the Far East are some of my favorites, but I lack the knowledge of how to make them. This had to change.

The Inspiration

You see, quite close to the beltline in Raleigh, NC is a wonderful Asian market that has just about everything. From pottery and fresh baked goods to live fish, the Grand Asia Market has it all. I love just wandering through this market discovering new foods and flavors and fumbling with them when I get home. Some of our standard purchases when we stop by the market is dumplings, steam buns and assorted shumai. One of the nights following our visit we would have a family night of Dim Sum. As I said above, what was missing from these family nights was the Dumpling Garlic Sauce. From longing comes inspiration to learn.

Learn I would. Through some trial and error the below recipe is what I have been searching for with having to order it. It only takes a few ingredients and a few minutes (to my surprise).

The Ingredients

• Soy Sauce
• Lite Soy Sauce
• Water
• Rice Wine Vinegar
• Sugar
• Garlic
• Sesame Oil
• Scallions

In a small sauce pan over medium high heat chow the garlic in the sesame oil to toast the garlic just a bit. Once the garlic is toasted to your liking add the sugar and liquids. Bring sauce to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Once the sauce has cooled, add the sliced scallions for added flavor.

Whether it’s a night of Chinese take out or we are enjoying a family night of Dim Sum you will see a bowl of this sauce getting passed around the table.
