Dipping Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, or more as needed
- ¼ tsp minced fresh ginger
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp green onions, chopped
- ½ tsp white sugar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, minced garlic, chopped green onions, toasted sesame oil, white sugar, and minced fresh ginger until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly mixed.
- Adjust Thickness: Check the consistency of the sauce and add additional hoisin sauce if you prefer a thicker texture to better coat the spring rolls.
- Chill to Meld Flavors: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate the sauce for 1 to 2 hours. This resting time allows the various flavors to blend together beautifully.
- Warm Before Serving: When ready to serve, transfer the sauce to a small saucepan and gently heat it over medium-low heat for 2 to 4 minutes until it is warmed through but not boiling, enhancing the aroma and taste.
