Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Grater
  • Glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Chili oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger grated
  • 1 stalk Green onion finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, and sugar.
  • Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, and salt.
  • Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl and let the spicy sauce sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your personal preference. Add more chili oil for extra heat or more sugar for a touch of sweetness.
  • Transfer the spicy sauce to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to deepen.
  • Before serving, give the jar or bottle a good shake to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Drizzle the Din Tai Fung’s spicy sauce over your favorite dishes, such as dumplings, noodles, or rice, and enjoy the irresistible combination of heat and flavor!

Notes

  • Customize the spice level — Adjust the amount of chili oil according to your desired heat level. Start with a small amount and gradually increase it until you reach your preferred spiciness.
  • Enhance the aroma — For a more aromatic sauce, lightly toast the minced garlic in a dry pan before adding it to the mixture. This step deepens the garlic flavor and brings out more complexity.
  • Marination magic — Use the spicy sauce as a marinade for meats or vegetables. Let them sit in the sauce for a couple of hours or overnight to infuse them with incredible flavor before grilling or roasting.
