Name: Soy Dipping Sauce
Yield: Makes about 2 cups
Ingredients: 1 cup soy sauce; 1/2 cup water; 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar; 4 teaspoons sugar; 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallion

We serve this sauce with both the sugar snap pea tempura and the pork and jicama dumplings . If you make only one of these hors d'oeuvres, however, this recipe should be halved.

Cooks' note:

Dipping sauce (without scallion) can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Stir in scallion and bring to room temperature before serving.
