Fig Dipping Sauce for Dumplings

 

I make this dipping sauce for dumplings ( either  meat or vegetarian) with Te Mata Just Fig Syrup as the main ingredient. It dresses them up beautifully.

From our local Asian supermarket I buy a large packet of  Korean dumplings and store them in the freezer. When we need a quick meal I take out as many as we can eat at one sitting and briefly steam them. So effortless!

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons of Te Mata Just Fig Syrup
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
2 tablespoons of fish sauce
1/2 clove of garlic (smashed)
some sliced red chilli/ a drop  or two of Hot Samoan Boys chilli sauce
a squeeze of lime juice

Stir together.
You can vary the quantities to balance the flavours to your taste.
