Dipping Sauce ?

[Daznz]

Hi everyone im from New Zealand . I would like to say this forum is out standing

I really love cooking and im really starting to enjoy chinese cooking ive struggled to make good chinese at home until i got mrs Chiangs Szechwan cookbook off ebay for 90c and i have ordered The Chinese Kitchen by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo .

I am making Shrimp balls the dipping sauce she calls for it a salt and pepper mix

I would like to have two more dipping sauces on the table, If anyone can help me out with two sauces that will go well with shrimp balls i would love the recipes

Thanks Dale

Welcome to the forum, Dale!

How are the shrimpballs made? Deep-fried?

Hmm...yummy....

I think you can use a Veitnamese or Thai spring roll dipping sauce for those babies. You can buy them already made or do a simple search on google.

The sweetness of those sauces will be a great contrast to the wonderful salty flavors in the shrimpballs.

You can also use a simple mixture of:

Light soy

sugar

lime juice

chilies

sesame oil

garlic

I also thought of Vietnamese dipping sauces to go with your shrimp balls. Here are a few possibilities:

Nuoc cham I or nuoc cham II

Ginger-lime dipping sauce (nuoc mam gung)

Malaysian(?)Tamarind-ginger dipping sauce
