The Best egg roll dipping sauce recipe
I have been making this egg roll dipping sauce for years and it is a staple in our house. My kids love it with homemade egg rolls and even use it as a dip for spring rolls and dumplings. It comes together in minutes with simple pantry ingredients and has less sugar than store bought versions.
This sauce is perfect for any occasion from weeknight dinners to game day parties. It is also lower in sodium than many bottled sauces because you control the ingredients. I love that it is gluten free and can be made vegan by using tamari instead of soy sauce. The balance of sweet and savory flavors makes it a crowd pleaser every time.
I always make a double batch because it disappears fast. My husband even puts it on rice bowls and stir fries. It is one of those recipes that proves homemade is always better than store bought.
