I know you use a lot of dipping sauces but it isn't something we use much.

My husband picked up some duck spring rolls and I want to make a nice sauce
for him.

Please can you suggest some ... but nothing spicy, no, not even pepper
Saying a sauce is just mildly spicy .... No thanks, he just won't eat it.

I would be grateful if you would share your ideas)

With duck spring rolls duck sauce naturally... not at all spicy... but
is more sweet. You might want to thin it with a bit of soy sauce, can
add some hoisin sauce too.

Yep. Same with me. I love spring rolls. Will eat them plain but a dip
in the "duck sauce" which is a sweet/sour sauce is even better.

If you ever run across "duck sauce," buy it. It's nothing more than a
sweet and sour sauce, no spiceyness that you wouldn't like. It's good
stuff.

McDonalds and even 7-11 have good packs of duck sauce. Not sure if you
have them in Scotland though.
My daughter loved McDonald's fries dipped in their duck sauce even
though they intended it to be used for their chicken nuggets.

======================

I didn't know duck sauce was sweet and sour) I don't know about McDonalds
because we don't use it so I can't check. I can make sweet and sour sauce
though If I need to.

I will look for duck sauce next time I am shopping. It's not something I
have ever given though to before now) I think he will be very pleased
when I get this right. He loves sweet and sour and only yesterday I made
sweet and sour chicken with rice)

Thanks very much)

Most all Chinese take outs have packets of duck sauce, soy sauce, and
Oriental mustard too... but duck sause is just sweet, not sour at
all... it's essentially diluted apricot preserves. Usually if you ask
they will give you a tiny plastic cup of their home made Oriental
mustard that is far more potent than the infantile musturd in the
packets. There are infinite versions of oriental dipping sauce.

I'd start off with a base of apricot jam or orange marmalade something similar and add ketchup and maybe some soy sauce. Additionally, some malt vinegar, ginger, garlic, mustard, would be fine additions. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

======================

Ahh thank you I did try one with orange marmalade but he didn't like it,
I bought some plum jam to try though, not tried it out yet.

So far I have used a jar of cranberry sauce mixed with mayo and port. He
quite likes that. I am not used to dipping sauces which is why I asked
here. What would you mix with plum jam?

Thank you for your ideas)

Merry Christmas to you too and I wish you a wonderful 2017)

Plum sauce can be made with plum jam base, but it needs some vinegar to
balance the sweet and then add some heat, some garlic and ginger.

I haven't ever bought plum jam but I have eaten Peking duck with plum sauce
and buns - it's great. Plum jam in a sauce for Chinese duck would be very
appropriate. Cranberry sauce and mayo sounds interesting. I'll try it when I
get the chance. Mele Kalikimaka!

===

I added port too. Not sure why but I had seen something about using port
and he likes it

I wanted to learn about some other dipping sauces because I had seen posters
here talking about them.

I think I will try the plum jam. Do you think mayo and port would work with
that too?

Any more ideas would be very welcome)

Mele Kalikimaka!

I don't know a thing about port except that it's the opposite of starboard. The only thing I drink with alcohol are those nighttime cold medicines. Sorry that I cannot be more of a help.

If you see a recipe you like except for the peppers, leave them out.
They aren't there for flavor, they're there for heat. I like vinegar
and chopped fresh garlic (soy sauce optional), s & p if you wish.
You can also use Thai sweet chili sauce, which is virtually heatless,
straight from the bottle.
