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 this Dipping Sauce with egg rolls, pot stickers, tofu, any Asian finger foods!

Sauce 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!

    I love the sweetness and flavors this has. I think it would be great on any seafood like salmon as well

    You are so right about the purchased sauces being overly sugary. I love the use of plums both for the wonderful flavor as well as the reduction in refined sugar.
