Korean Dumpling Dipping Sauce

Gochugaru brings gentle heat while sesame oil adds richness to this classic Korean condiment. Everything whisks together in minutes, creating a sauce that's equally good with pot stickers, scallion pancakes, or grilled meats.

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk thoroughly until the sugar completely dissolves. The sauce should look evenly mixed with no grainy texture.

Cover any leftover sauce tightly and refrigerate. It will keep for up to a week, though the green onions will lose some brightness after a few days.
