To add heat, consider mixing some chili paste or sriracha into the dipping sauce or adding sliced jalapeños to the rolls. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes on top before serving for an extra kick that complements the savory flavors.
What can I do with leftover dipping sauce?
Leftover dipping sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Use it as a marinade for other meats or drizzle it over steamed vegetables for added flavor. It also works well as a dressing for salads or as a dipping sauce for other appetizers like spring rolls or dumplings.
