    25 Dipping Sauces for Asian Dumplings pin

    My selection of dipping sauces for your Asian dumplings. I have added classic Asian dips, as well as modern creamy Western style dumplings dips to the assortment.

    The dips are suitable for steamed, boiled and fried Asian dumplings. Try mixing up things by using, for example, a Thai dip with a Chinese dumpling.
