Asian Vegetable Dipping Sauce Recipe



You can make these tangy, slightly hot and sweet vegetable dipping sauce ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator up to 24 hours before use.

1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
A dash of cayenne pepper to taste
A dash of cinnamon

In a glass bowl whisk together all the above ingredients until dissolved. Serve with fresh vegetables such as sugar snap peas, peeled and sliced cucumber, red and orange bell peppers cut into bite size pieces. You can also use this versatile sauce as a marinade over shrimp or scallops by simply adding 1/4 cup Sweet Japanese Rice Wine ( Mirin ) to the mixture.

You can turn this into a cream based dipping sauce by adding in sour cream until the desired consistency is achieved.
