1 minute and 3 ingredients is all you need to make the best homemade gyoza sauce. Salty and tangy with an optional spicy kick, this is the only sauce you need for dumplings and pot stickers.

There are many versions of homemade gyoza sauce out there, but this is my absolute favorite version. Close to the original Japanese dipping sauce and easy to make with as much spice as you like - or none at all.
Why you will love this recipe
- Quick & easy: just mix together 3 ingredients ,and you're done!
- So tasty with a great combo of flavors
- The best dipping sauce for gyoza, dumplings, potstickers, spring rolls and egg rolls
- Delicious in stir-frys for some extra flavor
- Simple ingredients with even simpler substitutes!
Ingredient Notes
- Japanese soy sauce: I recommend a dark Japanese soy sauce ("Koikuchi Shoyu" in Japanese). You can also use another type of soy sauce or tamari, but it will change the flavor a bit. Taste test and go from there!
- Rice vinegar: Can be swapped for apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar, but it will change the flavor slightly.
- Sesame oil: Add more or less according to taste.
- Red pepper flakes can be added if you want a spicy kick to your sauce.
How To Make This Recipe
- Place all ingredients in a small bowl
- Mix, taste test, and you're done!
Expert Tips
- Taste test and adjust the flavor to suit your taste
- If the flavor is too strong, you can mix in a little bit of water
- Store leftover Gyoza sauce in the fridge in a jar or other airtight container; it's good for many weeks. If adding chili flakes, do so just before serving, or it will become very spicy as it sits.
How To Use Gyoza Sauce
Gyoza sauce is the perfect easy dipping sauce, either on its own or paired with something like sweet chili sauce. But there are other uses for it as well, for example as part of stir-fries or other dishes.
Here are some of my favorite ways to use it:
- As a dipping sauce for dumplings, pot stickers, gyoza, or spring rolls.
- Adding extra flavor to chickpeas, especially for salads (I do this for my sweetheart cabbage salad).
- As a light & simple stir-fry sauce for proteins, veggies, and noodles.
