Ingredients

  • 1 fresh chilli, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp chilli crisp/oil
  • 1 tsp chives, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

  • Whisk together all of the ingredients until fully incorporated.
  • Taste to adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding extra salt if you want it saltier, more rice vinegar for extra tang and extra chilli if you love more spice. I find the listed quantities the perfect balance of all 3!
  • Serve in a dipping bowl and enjoy!

Notes

Depending on how fiery your chilli crisp is, you can add more or less fresh chilli to the recipe. I usually go for fresno chillies, but if you love spice, slice up a bird’s eye.
Tweak the salt, acidity and sugar until it tastes right to you.
The oil in the gyoza dipping sauce might separate a bit as it rests, just give it a quick whisk before serving.
