Hoi Sin Dip
No-cook
serves 6
This easy no-cook hoisin dip comes together in minutes and adds bold sweet, salty and aromatic flavour to appetisers and mains. It is ideal for dunking crispy spring rolls, potstickers or chicken skewers.
A short chill helps the garlic and ginger mellow into the sauce for a smoother finish. Keep a jar in the fridge for quick lunches, snack platters or party sharing boards.

Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated garlic and grated ginger to a small bowl.
Whisk until smooth and glossy. Add 1 tablespoon water if you prefer a looser dipping consistency.
Taste and balance: add a splash more vinegar for tang or a little extra hoisin for sweetness.
Cover and chill for 20-30 minutes to let the flavours meld.
Serve with dumplings, spring rolls or grilled skewers, topped with sliced spring onion if using.
