Dumplings are a cornerstone of nibble dinners in this house. I keep a bag in the freezer (when I don't feel like making my own), and throwing together this sauce is one way of keeping the "homemade" in the meal.

2 cloves garlic
1 green onion
1 TBS brown sugar
2 TBS red wine vinegar
3 TBS soy sauce
4 TBS water
1 good squirt siracha sauce!

1. combine oil, garlic, and green onion in a small saucepan, then heat until it's starting to smell good and sizzle
2. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a small bowl, then add to the pan.
3. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
4. Enjoy!
