A dipping sauce or dip is a common condiment for many types of food. Dips are used to add flavour to a food, such as pita bread, dumplings, crackers, cut-up raw vegetables, seafood, cubed pieces of meat and cheese, potato chips, tortilla chips, or falafel. Unlike other sauces, instead of applying the sauce to the food, the food is typically put into, or dipped, into the dipping sauce (hence the name). Dips are commonly used for finger foods and other easily held foods.Dip is a very widespread food; forms of it are eaten all over the world.

Here is a light and healthy version of the deep fried spring rolls, which can be found on virtually every Chinese food menu. Summer rolls are an un-fried version of the appetizer, and they are served cold with a zesty dipping sauce. This recipe is vegetarian, but you can easily add chicken or shrimp to turn it into a healthy entree.

Whenever I want a simple and homey grilled chicken, I usually just marinate chicken meat in soy sauce, crushed pepper and garlic. It’s all according to taste, I really don’t know the exact measurements. It has never failed to satisfy my craving and have always impressed my foreign friends whenever they visit at home. Dippings?

Tip: I like to triple the peanut sauce and keep it in the refrigerator to use as a salad dressing or dipping sauce for grilled chicken.
