This homemade Asian Plum Chili Dipping Sauce has a well-rounded flavor. It’s sweet, but not overly sweet, with a nice spicy kick to it.
Homemade sauces are the best
So many of those store-bought purchased sauces are flat and just sugary. This is a great way to up the flavor so you get the greatest yumminess! Serve my Asian Plum Chili Dipping Sauce with egg rolls, pot stickers, tofu, any Asian finger foods!
Recipe Notes
I love to add a spoonful of this to my fried rice too. It adds a bit of depth and flavor to the fried rice that you just don’t get with plain sauces.
I used this brand of sweet chili sauce (Amazon affiliate link), but feel free to use any brand you like.
I also love how easy this is to make a great full flavored Asian dipping sauce at home with just 3 ingredients!
