MAKES ABOUT ½ CUP People tell me that they could drink this sauce. In fact, I’ve caught my son sneaking sips of this sauce even before the pot stickers were ready. It hits all the right spots on your palate with its salty, vinegary, pungent flavors. You can add more or less of any given ingredient. Instead of rice vinegar, you could use Chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar.

- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 2 clove garlic finely chopped or crushed
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
