Daisho Sauce for Gyoza, 89ml

Daisho Seasoning Sauce for Gyoza is a ready-made Japanese dipping sauce built on soy sauce, vinegar and a touch of sesame oil, made by Daisho in Japan. It's designed to do in one pour what most cooks do with a handful of jars and a grater - balancing salty, sour and a little sweetness into a single sauce built specifically for gyoza and other dumplings. Give the bottle a shake before pouring, as the sesame oil and seasonings settle, then it's ready to serve straight from the bottle.

It's the fastest route to a proper gyoza dinner. Pour a little into a small dish alongside steamed or pan-fried gyoza and dip as you go, or drizzle it directly over dumplings, gyoza or spring rolls before serving. It also works well stirred through noodles for a quick umami hit, or as a simple marinade base for stir-fried vegetables when you want that same soy-and-vinegar backbone without measuring out half a dozen ingredients.

Why we love it:

• It's the ready-made version of the same soy, vinegar and sesame dipping sauce we teach in our Japanese Gyozas recipe, for the nights you don't have five different bottles on the go
  
• Made in Japan by Daisho, a specialist in ready-to-use Japanese seasoning sauces
  
• Balanced rather than one-note: savoury soy, a clean vinegar tang and a background sweetness, so it works on more than just gyoza
  
• Genuinely versatile - equally at home with dumplings, spring rolls, noodles or a quick stir-fry
  
• No measuring, no chopping - just shake and pour
  

How to use:

• Shake well, then pour a little into a small dish for dipping steamed or pan-fried gyoza
  
• Drizzle 1-2 tsp directly over dumplings or spring rolls before serving
  
• Stir a spoonful through cooked noodles with a little sesame oil for a quick sauce
  
• Use as the base for a fast stir-fry sauce - loosen with a splash of water if it's too concentrated
