Mandu Dipping Sauce (Cho Jung)

Beth Lee
This mandu dipping sauce is so good, you’ll want to make a double batch and use it on everything. My husband's family calls this mandu dumpling sauce "cho jung" - short for chogochujang. I just call it delicious!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons black vinegar
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Instructions
 

  • Using a bowl or measuring cup, add the rice and black vinegar and the soy sauce then the gochujang paste. Whisk to incorporate the gochujang.
    Adding gochujang to liquid ingredients of mandu dipping sauce.
  • Add the sesame seeds and green onions and whisk again. That's all there is to it but I promise it tastes incredible.

  • Use immediately for mandu or store in a container in the fridge. Will last for at least a couple weeks (maybe add some fresh green onions each time you use it) but I promise it will not last that long!

Notes

  • My number one tip is to double this recipe! You'll want to use it on more than dumplings once you taste it.
  • Don't skip any of the ingredients - get the black vinegar and the gochujang and the rice vinegar if you don't keep it in the house. You'll find yourself using these ingredients for many other dishes from salad dressings to marinades to other sauces. They are worth buying and are not very expensive either!
