Most common in Japan is a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce. Adding a little chili oil is popular too.

Literally anything. Soy sauce, black vinegar, kewpie mayo, the sauce that comes with the dumplings, store bought sauces, homemade sauces, chilli crisp, rayu. They’re all great, although my favourite is gochujang mixed with kewpie.

I make my own concentrated “base”! I put a lot of chopped garlic, dried sliced chili peppers, soy sauce, and vinegar into a jar for weeks, and I keep adding ingredients when it gets low.
When I eat gyozas (I make my own, too), I add my “base” with more plain soy sauce, and rayu or regular sesame oil, depending on my mood lol It’s very garlicky!
PS – in case you try it, garlic in the jar gets a little slimy after a while but it’s normal. Japanese Google said it was some kind of chemical reaction and I’ve been making it for years, shared with friends, nobody got sick…. But just in case, I don’t want to be liable and get sued or something, you never know, so please don’t consume anything if you’re not comfortable!

Ponzu + minced garlic + minced green onions + minced daikon + rayu
Soy sauce, mirin, hot pepper oil and finely matchsticked ginger. (Toothpicked?)
