I recently purchased the pork pot stickers and I found they were pretty good, but.. they would be better if there was a dipping sauce, does anyone have any suggestions.

I usually use soy sauce or teriyaki sauce with the pot stickers.

Like she was talking about there are several kinds at the grocery. I like sweet and sour, there is mustard, duck sauce. I want to try the new cheeseburger ones too.

Trader Joe's has a great sweet chile sauce that is perfect for pot stickers.

When we get them from the Chinese restaurant they come with a soy sauce and ginger type sauce. I looked in the section of the grocery store that carries Chinese products and found a soy ginger sauce and it tastes exactly the same as what we get at the Chinese restaurant. It is very good on pork pot stickers. I hope that you can find something that you like.

I went through a pot sticker phase a few months ago! Yummy! There are tons of different recipes & combinations for dipping sauces.

These are 2 dipping sauces from Andrea Nguyen's book "Asian Dumplings". The 1st is loosely adapted.

Soy Dipping Sauce

stir together:

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 1/2 - 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar (or add a bit more if you like it sweeter)

optional additions:

1-3 teaspoons hot chili oil

1 Tablespoon freshly grated ginger

1 teaspoon finely minced garlic

1 small scallion, thinly sliced

1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil

Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce

1/4 cup sugar or light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, or cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Combine the sugar, salt, ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar & water in a small saucepan. Bring to a near boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Give the cornstarch slurry a stir, & add it to the pan. Continue cooking, stirring for about 15 seconds until sauce comes to a full boil & thickens.

2. Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl & set aside 10 minutes to cool down. Taste, & add a bit more salt, if needed. Can be prepared a day in advance.

*This peanut sauce recipe is from Antilope, a poster here. It's good! I found that nuking the ingredients for a few seconds helped to emulsify the ingredients.

Thai Style Peanut Dipping Sauce

4 tbsp peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

2 tbsp salad oil

4 tbsp soy sauce

4 tbsp granulated sugar

4 tbsp distilled vinegar

1 tsp toasted sesame oil

2 tsp Sriracha hot chili sauce (more or less to taste)

1/8 tsp ground coriander

Mix well with whisk.

I found dipping sauce at the grocery store, but I sometimes make my own with soy sauce, fresh ginger, some garlic and sesame oil. mix together till it tastes right.

Schwans has really good pot stickers and they come with sauce packets. Two of the ingredients in the sauce are soy and hoisin. I usually dilute their sauce down a little with water and some soy.

I get this one from Amazon. It's Dynasty brand and called Potsticker-Gyoza dipping sauce. I like it very much. It's soy, sesame oil, and a couple other ingredients. Anyway, I usually get three 5oz bottles for $12-$15. Those three bottles last me a VERY long time.
