Hot Star Honey Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce

Sweet, savoury, and perfectly pourable

Produced in Norfolk by Hot Star →

Produced in Norfolk by Hot Star Honey, Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce combines British honey with rich, naturally brewed soy sauce to create a beautifully balanced sweet and savoury sauce with plenty of umami depth.

Smooth, glossy and wonderfully versatile, it brings together the natural sweetness of honey with the salty, savoury character of soy and just a hint of warmth. Use it as a dipping sauce for dumplings and spring rolls, drizzle it over rice and noodles, brush it onto grilled meats or use it to bring instant flavour to a quick stir-fry.

It's the sort of bottle that can turn something very simple into something considerably more interesting.

What does Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce taste like?

Expect a balance of sweet, salty and deeply savoury umami flavours.

British honey provides the sweetness and helps give the sauce its sticky, glossy consistency, while naturally brewed soy sauce brings saltiness and a rich savoury depth.

Neither needs to dominate. Instead, the contrast between honey and soy creates that particularly satisfying combination of sweet and savoury, with a subtle warmth providing the finishing touch.

What is a sticky soy sauce?

A sticky soy sauce takes the deeply savoury character of soy and combines it with sweetness to produce a richer, more glaze-like sauce.

In Hot Star Honey's version, that sweetness comes from British honey. As well as flavour, the honey provides the smooth, sticky texture that makes the sauce equally useful for dipping, drizzling and glazing.

Think of it as something that can sit alongside your meal as a dipping sauce – or become part of the cooking itself.

What can you use Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce with?

The combination of honey and soy makes this an exceptionally versatile bottle to have in the kitchen.

Try it with:

• Dumplings and gyoza – pour into a small bowl and use as a ready-made dipping sauce
• Spring rolls – a sweet and savoury alternative to conventional sweet chilli sauce
• Rice bowls – drizzle over vegetables, tofu, chicken or a fried egg
• Noodles – stir through cooked noodles for an instant hit of sweet soy flavour
• Stir-fries – add towards the end of cooking for sweetness, seasoning and a glossy finish
• Chicken – brush onto grilled or roasted chicken as a sticky soy glaze
• Salmon – honey and soy are particularly good with rich, oily fish
• Pork – use as a glaze or finishing sauce for grilled or roasted pork
• Tofu – ideal for adding plenty of flavour to crispy or grilled tofu
• Grilled vegetables – particularly good with aubergine, mushrooms, peppers and broccoli

Or simply put a bowl of it on the table and start dipping.

Can you use Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce as a glaze?

Absolutely.

The combination of honey and soy sauce makes this particularly well suited to glazing. Brush it over chicken, salmon, pork, tofu or vegetables towards the end of cooking, allowing the honey to create a sticky, glossy coating.

It can also be added to a hot pan during the final stages of a stir-fry or noodle dish, where it will coat the other ingredients and provide sweetness, saltiness and savoury depth.

Is Sticky Soy Sauce good with noodles and rice?

Very much so.

Sometimes a bowl of rice or noodles needs little more than a good sauce and a few well-chosen toppings. Drizzle Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce over rice with vegetables, chicken or tofu, or stir a little through freshly cooked noodles.

Add spring onions, sesame seeds, chilli or a fried egg and you have the basis of a quick meal without needing to build a sauce from scratch.

Dipping sauce or cooking sauce?

Why choose?

Although called a Sticky Soy Dipping Sauce, one of its strengths is that it doesn't have to remain on the side of the plate.

Dip dumplings and spring rolls into it, certainly, but also use it as a drizzle, glaze, stir-fry sauce or finishing sauce. That versatility makes it particularly useful when you want to add sweetness, saltiness and umami without reaching for several different ingredients.
