Are you a double-dipper? Leave a comment.
I think we can all agree that double-dipping is a serious party foul. Surely you’ve witnessed the guy at the party grazing away at the snack table, double-dipping anything and everything in the Ranch. It seems every party has one of these guys that “didn’t get the memo” about double-dipping, which is precisely why I avoid dips at parties.
Fortunately, that’s not the double-dipping I’m talking about. I’m talking about something good! I’m talking about a dip that does double-duty.
My friend, Christine H, introduced me to a delicious Sichuan Dipping Sauce that she uses as the “landing bowl” for Hot Pot; it’s the pefect complement to those spicy hot pot flavors. And here’s the double-duty: It’s also a great dipping sauce for dumplings and pot stickers! See? That’s the good kind of Double-Dipping!
I’ve come to terms that I’m addicted to this wonderful dipping sauce. So, I’m sharing the recipe with you in hopes that you’ll become addicted, too, and we can keep each other company in Sichuan Dipping Sauce Rehab.
Sure, you can call me an enabler if you like, but this dipping sauce is worth the risk. Worst case is I’ll see you in rehab!
Link to the Spicy Asian Dipping Sauce recipe.
I enjoy this Spicy Asian Dipping Sauce with dumplings, as a dressing for slaw, spooned over meat or fish, and as an accent to noodles. It’s that good.
I also discovered this wonderful sauce turns The Perfect Shrimp??? into More Perfecter Shrimp!
Do you have a sauce recipe that you use in more than one dish? Are you a double-dipper? Leave a comment.
I just started following you on Twitter! Your a riot I don’t know were you get this stuff. The dip looks to spicy for me but I feel just like you about double dippers. To the death LOL!!!!
Betty is that you dressed as a cop?
oh gosh! I totally agree about double dipping. I think if you’re alone at home then it’s okay to double dip but at a party NO WAY!
Hey, no double dipping as seen on seinfeld lol, of course an obvious double dip gets you the sauce to yourself, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
a sauce like this works hard it’s true. But nit as hard as you. KNow your a cop?
Another great “optional” ingredient I like are Sichuan Peppercorns. Adds a very odd tongue sensation to the heat of the peppers! GREG
Not always a double dipping is a bad thing! LOL
The sauce looks and sounds totally delightful!! It’s similar to a chimichurri sauce changing sesame oil for olive oil and without ginger :)
Cheers!
Gera
now this is some double dipping I would try! :-)
Looks delicious, I also don’t care for ranch either. I like having my own bowl at home, so I can double and triple dip all I want.
I have no trouble with a little double dipping at home, but that’s where I draw the line.
PS. They tried to make me go to rehab but I said nooo no no :)
Hi Nancy!! Thanks for following me on Twitter :)
Ben, yup… that is me dressed as Officer Betty. You can see the episode of Burrito 911 here:
Jessie, Southern Grace & Heidi, good point. If you’re at home, double dip to your hearts content!
Jason, yet another good point. If you really like the dip, make sure everyone SEES you double dip and then you’ll have it all to yourself!!
Sippity, great point about the Sichuan peppercorns! If you can get em, try em!
Mmm, Gera! I love chimichurri! That may have to be a recipe soon :)
Quite the compliment coming from you HoneyB… don’t think Grumpy would dig it though!
Hopefully, we were all able to stave off that trip to rehab :) No No No!
Love y’all!!!
Betty
Hey Betty,
That sauce is da bomb!!! You know I love my dumplings and just had to make the sauce to go along with them. You can hang with me in rehab anytime…lol.
Cheers, Jody
Hey Jody!
Thanks for dropping by! I am so happy you tried my sauce :) I actually whipped up a batch of dumplings and slaw for my friend Christine (who had the original recipe) and she really liked my version!
Gotta have my dumplins’! See you in rehab!
Cheers,
Betty
Totally making my mouth water.
what if you dip one end, bite, and then dip the other end? it may look like double dipping – but it isn’t?!
LOL Lynn! I do that at home… but at a party? I don’t know. What would Oprah do ;)
I totally agree with this website..Double Dipping is sooo gorss:(
But yet we all find eachother doing this..But everybody makes mistakes…
