Step-by-Step Instructions for Wet Wet Sauce
  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering your ingredients for the Wet Wet Sauce. Thinly slice the white part of the green onions, and finely mince the garlic and ginger.

  4. Allow to Cool and Mix: Gently stir the mixture for about 30 seconds to combine everything thoroughly. Remove the pot from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the Sauces and Vinegar: Once the mixture has cooled, stir in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Ensure to mix well for a harmonious blend.
  6. Store or Serve: Your Wet Wet Sauce is now ready to use! Drizzle it over dumplings, grilled meats, or stir-fries, or transfer to an airtight jar for later. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
