Use this simple sauce for dumplings.

Ingredients

Makes about 1 cup (240 ml)

¼ cup (120 ml) dark soy sauce

¼ cup (120 ml) rice wine vinegar

¼ cup (55 g) packed brown sugar

1 star anise pod

Preparation

Step 1
In a small saucepan, stir together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and star anise and bring them to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring so that the sugar dissolves. Once it does, remove the pot from the heat and let the mixture cool. Discard the star anise before serving.
Step 2
This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator indefinitely and can also be multiplied, though you’ll want to start with slightly less vinegar and adjust to taste.
