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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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)

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

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)

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.

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 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!

Wherever your husband bought the spring rolls would likely have house
mustard, next time tell him to ask. Or it's very easy to make your
own, simply buy a small amount of oriental mustard powder and prepare
your own, the only thing else you need is water. However I can tell
you oriental mustard is like horseradish. I like horseradish and
oriental mustard but I don't like hot pepper. With oriental mustard
and horseadish the effect is short lived and then is gone (kinda like
a good orgasm), makes you feel like the top of your skull is lifting
off but there's no burning... and does a great job of clearing your
sinuses. With hot pepper the burning lasts a long time, it burns
going down and burns twice as much coming out. Chili head is a
misnomer, the correct terminology is chili asshole. LOL

Yeah, that oriental mustard is very hot. For spring rolls, I like to
dip in duck sauce.
Are you saying you bought frozen spring rolls? If he likes them
you should make your own. So easy to make. Don't bake them though,
they are so much better deep fried. They don't absorb much oil as
long as you get the oil very hot to start with.

Good eats. I don't make them often as I would eat too many. :-D

A Happy Christmas day to you, O.

Then it would be easier to suggest something if you posted a list of
what he does eat. It's difficult to concoct a decent oriental dipping
sauce using nothing strongly flavored, even garlic, onions, and ginger
can be hot to some. Peanut butter can be used in an oriental dipping
sauce, blend a wee bi with apple juice, soy sauce, and a bit of plum
jam.

Then it would be easier to suggest something if you posted a list of
what he does eat. It's difficult to concoct a decent oriental dipping
sauce using nothing strongly flavored, even garlic, onions, and ginger
can be hot to some. Peanut butter can be used in an oriental dipping
sauce, blend a wee bi with apple juice, soy sauce, and a bit of plum
jam.

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

Don't worry Sheldon, I am getting there) Thanks anyway)

I will be making a sweet and sour sauce and I have already made one with
cranberry and mayo.

As I expect you well know, I love to experiment)

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.

Thanks! Here's some Korean style shortribs that I made tonight. It was sous vide in the sauce for 3 hours or so, then cut into pieces, and fried in a hot pan for a couple of minutes.

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

Yummmmmmm they look delicious) Did you actually sous vide IN the sauce?
What temps did you use?

That is interesting. I have always cooked by keeping the (whatever) in an
airtight pack.

Looks like I'll have to sous vide Korean ribs from now on!

It should be at around 130F for a few hours. I couldn't find a thermometer
so I just guessed. One of these days I'll get my fingertips calibrated and I
won't need a thermometer.

Sous vide is a pretty good idea for Korean kalbi. The marinade has so much
sugar in it that frying it means you end up burning the surface before you
get the inside cooked to medium rare. Sous vide means there's no tricky
balancing act between cooking the meat and over cooking the surface. It's
already cooked, all I have to do is make it look nice. Another great thing
is that I can cook the short ribs in the sauce.

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

You have me thinking now) I have never done that but I see it in my very
near future)

Thanks for the ideas)
