Description

This Din Tai Fung Spicy Wonton Sauce is a flavorful, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment perfect for elevating your wontons, dumplings, or noodles. Combining soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili oil with fresh garlic, ginger, and green onions, it delivers a balanced heat and savory depth. Optional additions of Sichuan peppercorns provide a numbing spice, while hoisin sauce adds subtle sweetness, making it a versatile sauce loved by many.

Ingredients

Scale

Sauce Base

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp chili oil (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp sugar

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger, finely grated
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped green onions

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, toasted and ground (optional, for extra numbing spice)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Sauce Base: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili oil, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved to create a smooth, balanced base for the sauce.
  2. Add Fresh Aromatics: Incorporate the minced garlic, finely grated ginger, and chopped green onions into the sauce base. Stir thoroughly to infuse the sauce with fresh, sharp flavors.
  3. Include Optional Spices: If using, add the toasted and ground Sichuan peppercorns to introduce a distinctive numbing heat. Likewise, stir in hoisin sauce for a subtle sweetness to balance the spiciness if preferred.
  4. Let Flavors Meld: Mix all ingredients thoroughly and allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This resting period lets the flavors blend and deepen for an optimal taste experience.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Spoon the sauce over your favorite wontons, dumplings, or noodles. For extra color and flavor, garnish with additional chopped green onions or a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the chili oil quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • To toast Sichuan peppercorns, lightly heat them in a dry pan until fragrant before grinding.
  • Hoisin sauce is optional but adds a lovely sweetness that complements the spiciness.
  • This sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Perfect as a dipping sauce or a drizzle to enhance various Asian-inspired dishes.
