The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.56 star rating.

This is a great sauce IF made with low-sodium soy sauce. I made it the first time with regular soy sauce and it's just too salty. For lettuce wraps, dim sum, dumplings or spring rolls, it's great.

This was great! I added about 3 Tbsp. (eyeballed it) water to make a thinner sauce for dipping lettuce wraps & spring rolls--this also cut the salt that others have complained about. I served this cold, and it was a nice refreshing touch to the rest of the meal!

Really tasty sauce. Especially good with the Asian Lettuce Wraps from this site. I did double it and added a little more sugar and water, since it's pretty salty. Even my husband, who loves salt, said it was a bit too salty. Next time I will use low sodium soy sauce too. Otherwise really good!

I can't imagine an Oriental meal which *won't* be positively enhanced by this exceptional sauce. I, too, recently served it with Asian Lettuce Wraps from this site. My one suggestion is to double the recipe -- if your experience is like mine, family and guests will make short work of the sauce. Thanks, Jackie and All Recipes!

My family loved this sauce with the lettuce wraps from this site. I added 2 extra tablespoons of water and 1/4 t sugar because it is awful salty...but still good.

I loved this recipe, exactly what I was looking for to go with steamed dumplings. My bf said it was a little salty for his taste, but I think it could be altered with a little more of the hoisen sauce, will definately make again and next time maybe play around with ingredients a little for him. ***I made this again and changed my rating to 5 stars! As with almost any sauce recipe it can be altered to your taste. I used a full teaspoon of the toasted sesame oil, extra garlic, more onion, an additional tablespoon of the Hoisin and a full teaspoon of sugar. It is exceptional, and really cut down the 'salty' of the soy sauce***

This was very good! Yes, pretty salty even with low sodium soy sauce. But salty in a good way! I guess you just have to remember a little goes a long way when using this sauce! Will make again and again when serving Asian! Thanks a lot!

I thought this was very very salty. I added an extra tsp of brown sugar to try to counterbalance the saltiness. It helped a little but really it just tasted like fancy soy sauce.

Increased the sasame oil and Hoisin a bit - to die for!!! Easily better than any jar sauce - easily worth the effort.

This was good. Not was I was hoping to get with this recipe, but still something that we liked. The soy is a VERY dominant flavor...and I was hoping it would be a little less strong and let some of the other flavors come through. Thanks for the post.

I don't know what went wrong, I followed the recipe and ended up with a salty seasame sauce that I didn't care for at all. I will not make again.
