About This Dish

Potsticker Sauce is the dumpling dip at Panda Express: 10 calories per packet, a soy and vinegar based sauce built specifically for the Chicken Potstickers it is named after.

It is thinner and sharper than the sweet dips at the station, closer to a traditional Chinese dumpling sauce than anything else Panda serves. Soy carries the salt, vinegar cuts through the pan seared dumpling wrapper, and a light sweetness rounds the edges. It is the one sauce here designed as a complement rather than a contrast, and the potstickers taste incomplete without it.

At 10 calories with 290 mg of sodium, the calorie cost is negligible and the sodium is the figure to watch, as with every soy based item on this menu. It sits alongside Chili Sauce at 10 calories and Hot Mustard at 10 calories at the free end of the condiment range. The published flags list wheat and soy, both inherent to the soy sauce base.

How much is Potsticker Sauce? Packets come with potsticker orders at no charge in most stores, with extras on request.

It suits Chicken Potstickers at 160 calories above all, and works on Veggie Spring Rolls at 240 calories for anyone who prefers a savory dip to a sweet one. It also makes a decent seasoning for plain White Steamed Rice at 520 calories when an order needs lifting.

Tips

  • Black vinegar is the traditional choice and worth buying for this alone.
  • Make it sharper than seems right; the dumpling wrapper absorbs and dulls it.
  • Keeps a week refrigerated, though the scallion is best fresh.

Variations

  • Add chili crisp for a spicy dumpling dip.
  • A crushed garlic clove left in the sauce for an hour adds real depth.
  • A few drops of honey soften it for a milder palate.

Serve it with: With potstickers or any dumpling, and as a dressing for cold noodles.
