Easy Fishball Sauce Recipe (Manong’s Fishball Sauce)

Jump to Recipe

This is my favorite dipping sauce for fish balls or squid balls. The sauce is very easy to make. Just toss all the ingredients in the saucepan, heat it up and let it boil. Once boiling, simmer for 4-6 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

I divide the sauce in half. One part is for my husband (he’s not into spicy foods) and the other part is for me as I like the sauce to be spicy. I’ve added about 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes to the sauce.

Try this recipe. I hope you’ll love it!
