This Gyoza Dipping Sauce will take your gyoza’s to the next level! It takes only 5 minutes to make and is vegan too.
You can use this sauce with either pan fried gyoza or even steamed gyoza. Both work great!
Its also great to use as a dumpling dipping sauce. You should try it with my easy Rice Paper Dumplings which are one of my most popular recipes 🙂
I absolutely love having gyoza as an appetizer or even a quick late night snack. You’ll always find a packet in my freezer haha!
This easy gyoza dipping sauce makes them taste even better and is so much better than buying bottled sauces that can be filled with preservatives.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Soy sauce, I like to use sodium reduced soy sauce but regular is also fine. Coconut aminos or Tamari is also a great substitute, especially if you are gluten free
- Rice wine vinegar has a light sweetness and acidity to add to the sauce. Apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar or white wine vinegar can also be used
- Sriracha hot sauce is my preferred way to add some spice and sweetness. You can also use crushed red pepper flakes / chilli flakes or also chili oil
- Sesame oil brings a lovely aroma and taste. A little goes a long way so you don't need much as it can overpower the flavor too
- Garlic is grated or minced for all my fellow garlic lovers
- Ginger has to be one of my most favourite ingredients in this sauce, so I tend to use a lot of it and double the recipe below 🙂
- Green onion / spring onion are added not only as garnish, but they also taste great with gyoza too
- Sesame seeds are added for garnish, I prefer to toast them a little which brings out a nutty flavor
If you prefer your dumpling sauce with a little extra sweetness, you can also add a touch of sugar, honey or agave

Tips & Tricks
- Make a bigger batch of gyoza sauce to use for other dishes that week. It's best however to separate the sauce you are using for dipping and not re-use this part
- Allow the sauce to marinade for about 5-10 minutes before serving. This brings all the yummy flavours together
- Always have a little taste test to make sure you’re happy with the level of spice or other ingredients incase you would like to make any adjustments. I personally love adding double the ginger myself
FAQs
The base of the sauce is made using a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili. I also like to add some aromatics, with some sesame oil and grated garlic and ginger to give a punch of flavor
You can keep unused sauce for 5-7 days in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator. If you’ve dipped gyoza or dumplings into the sauce, its best to disregard this after use
