Ultimate Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, paprika, salt, oregano, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl with a whisk.
• Serve immediately as a dipping sauce for wontons (steamed or deep-fried) or spring rolls, or refrigerate until needed.
• Note: if you can't find the chili oil, a good substitute is 1/2 tsp vegetable oil and a goodly pinch of dried red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.

Steps:

• To make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and hot chili oil. Mix well and reserve.
• To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine, the pork, shrimp, egg white, water chestnuts, celery, cilantro, ginger, sugar, salt and sesame oil. Season with a little pepper and mix, stirring rapidly in 1 direction until the mixture is well combined and spongy.
• To make the potstickers: Working in batches, lay 4 potsticker wrappers on a clean surface. Keep the remaining wrappers covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Put a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each of the 4 wrappers. Brush the edges with water. Fold the wrappers in half over the filling, pinching the edges together to form semi-circles. Put the potstickers on a baking sheet seam-side up and cover with a clean towel. Repeat until all the potstickers have been formed.
• To cook the potstickers: Heat a large skillet over medium. Add about 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot add half the potstickers, seam-side up. Cook the potstckers until the bottoms are golden and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add 1/3 cup broth. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the cooked potstickers to a platter. Repeat, cooking the remaining potstickers.
• Serve the potstickers warm accompanied by the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed.
• If flavor seems too salty, add a touch more chili sauce.
• Chill at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Mix the mayonnaise and garlic together in a small bowl. Add the lemon juice and basil; whisk until thoroughly combined. Beat the Worcestershire sauce into the mixture. Serve immediately, or chill until serving.

Steps:

• Heat approximately 3 or 4 inches of oil in a deep fat fryer to 370 degrees F.
• While the oil is heating, peel potatoes and cut into strips using a French fry cutter.
• Place potato strips in ice water to remove excess starch.
• Completely dry potato strips using paper towels.
• Divide potatoes into two batches.
• Fry each batch in hot oil until golden brown; approximately 5 to 6 minutes/batch.
• While the French fries are cooking, make the Ultimate Dipping Sauce by pouring the mayonnaise on one side of a small serving bowl and the BBQ sauce on the other side of the serving bowl. DO NOT mix the mayonnaise and the BBQ sauce; mixing it with the French fries is part of the experience.
• Remove cooked fries with a slotted spoon and place on paper towel to remove excess oil.
• Remove paper towel from plate.
• Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese on piping hot French fries.
• Serve immediately, but allow the cheese to melt before serving. You may want to place under the broiler for a minute - just until the cheese melts; DO NOT let the cheese bubble and crust over!
• Dip the cheese fries into the Ultimate Dipping Sauce making sure you get a little bit of mayonnaise and a little bit of the hickory flavoured BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, and garlic powder together in a bowl; add Worcestershire sauce to the mayonnaise mixture and whisk until smooth.
• Sprinkle enough black pepper over the surface of the mayonnaise mixture to cover; stir to incorporate. Repeat sprinkling and stirring of black pepper.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the seasonings have blended into the sauce, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• In a large bowl place the egg yolks.
• Add iced water gradually, stirring (preferably with hashi(chopsticks)) and blending well.
• Add flour all at once, stir BRIEFLY; that is well enough to coat but leave the lumps and bumps!
• To fry vegetables heat a large frying pan with a half-inch oil (or more if necessary) and heat on high.
• Coat selected large vegetables in batter and fry for a minute or two on each side.
• To make the tentsuyu sauce, mix all three ingredients and serve in small dipping bowls.
