Dumpling Daughter - Spicy Sweet Soy - Brown Sugar Sweetened Dumpling Sauce Balanced with Spicy Chili Oil (8 Fl Oz, Spicy Sweet Soy)

Really super tasty and great. Just make sure to shake it. It has a sweet robust flavor while also a lot of umami and spiciness. The mix ratio of the oil/chili/soy/brown sugar is great. This is a good base sauce to add with other things like ginger, garlic, onions, etc. It also pairs well with adding a little extra sesame oil, seeds, and Chinese vinegar. It was so good that we actually ordered extra just to have. **Update: After using it for a few dishes, It hit my why this was very nostalgic. It taste like the drippings you get from Chinese BBQ Char Siu. I grew up in an Asian household so once a month my mom would bring us to the Asian store and order Chinese BBQ with a bunch of extra ramakins of Char Siu drippings and Ginger Scallion sauce to have with our BBQ. While not exactly that since it's missing a little bit of the pork fat rendering into the flavor, the rest of the sauce is a perfect match for the recipe used at the local BBQ that's been open for 35 years here in the south east. It really does hit a nice nostalgia button.

It is really good. Great with my dumplings, meat, and putting on rice.

Delish!

This sauce has a great flavor and I appreciate the new lid design. No leaking in the packaging before opening it. While some may consider the pour spout too big, it's a lot better than the previous design! Keep up great work in improving the bottle design and for the love of all things holy do not mess with the recipe (especially the ginger soy.)

This is the absolute best pot-sticker/dumpling/all-around sauce I've ever tasted! I fried up some pot-stickers and tried it, and ooh-la-la, I could not stop eating them! Not too sweet. Not too spicy. Every bite produces a burst of flavor that will tickle your tummy with joy! I could have literally drank it right out of the bottle! Yes, it's that good! I used it with some butter to fry up some salmon and oh my gosh... I didn't know salmon could taste that good! I had read some of the bad/neutral reviews and was a little hesitant to order it, but boy am I glad I did! I think the majority of the bad reviews were from people who fail to shake it properly prior to use. HINT: Before shaking it, I tip the bottle upside down and hold it there for a good ten seconds. That allows all the "goodness" from the bottom work its way to the top... then I start shaking it for an additional few seconds before serving... make sure the cap is on tight! Trust me... you want to order this stuff and at least try it. After you do, I'll just say in advance... "You're welcome!"

Ordered this trepidatiously, but have loved using this sauce. It has been my go-to drizzle for almost all kinds of grilling. It adds a hit of umami to all stir fries, but have added a drizzle to burgers, grilled chicken, grilled zucchini, and steaks. It gets beautifully caramelized when added after that first flip when grilling. I have used it as a dipping sauce for gyoza and dumplings, sometime mixing in a little seasoned rice wine vinegar, garlic and ginger to brighten it for dipping, but it is also great just out of the bottle. Put a little drizzle on some grilled shrimp tacos. DO SHAKE it - it separates, but one reason it works well is the sesame oil in it, I think.

It tastes great but didn't come with a cap so once I removed the foil from the bottle and shook it, sauce went everywhere 😲

Sooooo good. Definitely sweet and I usually add a little chili oil as well for more spice. But the flavor is amazing I use it on more than just dumplings!!
