Asian Plum Chili Dipping Sauce
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.
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!
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!
Homemade Asian Plum Chili Dipping Sauce Recipe
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- ¼ cup dried plums
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- Place all ingredients in the bowl of a blender, and purée until smooth. If sauce is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, up to ¼ cup. Sauce will thicken as it stands. Serve with any Asian foods, like eggrolls, pot stickers, fried rice, whatever you like!
Makes about 1 cup; 8 servings at 2 tablespoons each

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.
