Vinegar Dipping Sauce

Most people don't have a need for a vinegar dipping sauce recipe but for those who may use some help or wants to compare recipes, here's one for reference.

I use a real tangy vinegar, Datu Puti, with red onion, chopped garlic pieces, soy sauce for color, pinch of salt and little sugar, sliced green onion -- and chili for a little spicy kick.

Red, instead of regular yellow onion gives a more depth in taste. I also use a little sugar to balance the tangy vinegar and salty soy sauce.

YOUR SHOPPING LIST:

• Red Onion
• Green Onion(optional)

IN THE PANTRY:

INGREDIENTS

BENG'S TIPS

• Red onion is just a personal preference, you could use yellow onions or even shallots, whichever is available.
• Fresh Garlic tends to go rancid, so only add them to the dip that will be served within the day.
• If you are not going to consume all the dip on the day you made it, replace the fresh garlic with powdered garlic.
