A Tale of Three Dipping Sauces

Peanut Butter Sauce , Diane’s Magic Sauce and Green Onion Sauce

At a recent Lunar New Year party with friends, we all made dumplings. I made three dipping sauces to use on the dumplings and they were really well received. I had made the peanut butter sauce before and my friend Courtney, had found the green onion sauce online. The third sauce was my creation to have a spicy dipping sauce. My friend Diane liked it so much she said it was magic, so I named it Diane’s Magic Sauce. Here are the recipes. Enjoy!!!

1/3 c. coconut milk

1/2 t. crushed red pepper
