The Best Dipping Sauce for Mandu!! I absolutely love a good dipping sauce! Make this for mandu, or dumplings, roasted vegetables, a bowl of rice or anything. It’s so good!

Disclosure: This post is sponsored and in partnership with Bibigo USA.

As a kid, we grew up eating lots of mandu, Korean dumplings. My mom taught us how to make mandu at a young age and making a ton of these were a tradition of ours every New Years Eve and New Years Day.  Initially, I would just dip these in some soy sauce. Then, as my palette started to become more defined, I would mix in some vinegar. Then, again, later in life, I would add gochugaru, Korean hot pepper flakes. 

The Best Dipping Sauce for Mandu

My friend Joe recently came to visit and he added fish sauce and some sweet chili sauce and it was brilliant! Now, don’t get me started on fish sauce. I’m a huge fan and you should be too. I know many people are turned off by it but it adds that certain umami flavor to all sorts of things like soups and stews and this dipping sauce!

Grab the recipe below and make this! This is also great with roasted vegetables and mixed into some white rice. We hope you try it! 

Making mandu from scratch takes a of time and let’s be honest, these days, I rarely have time to make my mandu homemade. In fact, New Years Eve is pretty much the only time I do. I’m so excited that I can find my favorite ready made mandu, Bibigo, at my local grocery store, online and pretty much everywhere. It’s simply the best and so easy to make. We often enjoy Bibigo mandu for lunch, dinner or as a snack. Look for them in the freezer aisle at your local grocery store. Not only are they easy to make, but they make for a delicious meal to share with your family and friends!
