The Best Dipping Sauce for Egg Rolls
Sweet, spicy, garlicky, and tangy — easy and delicious
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sugar see notes
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 dried chile de arbol peppers OR japones
- 7 peeled garlic cloves
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Start by placing the sugar (or your chosen sweetener), white vinegar, salt, dried chile de árbol, peeled garlic, and water into a blender. Blend on medium-high until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer on low for 10 minutes or until foam starts to get bubbly and sauce thick. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan. Enjoy!
Notes
- Sweetener: White sugar is my go-to for this sauce. See in a pinch substitutions if using an alternate sweetener.
- We usually double or triple the recipe as it disappears fast.
- You can adjust garlic and chiles depending on your preference.
