What Goes Well with Sweet and Spicy Dumpling Sauce
Personally, I enjoy this recipe best when combining with my dumpling rice bowl recipe as it provides great flavor and you don’t run the risk of getting too many chunks of garlic or green onion in a bite. However, I may be in the minority on this view as I know many people who prefer this chunkier sauce as their dipping sauce for their homemade (or store bought) dumplings.
