My fusion spring roll recipe is incomplete without my go-to complementary sweet and spicy dipping sauce. Unlike the traditional chutneys commonly found on Ramadan tables or served with savoury dishes, this sauce adds a delightful umami-rich layer that perfectly enhances the Indo-Chinese flavours of the spring rolls. You can also use it in stir-fries or as a sushi dipping sauce.
