Chilli dipping sauce

This recipe is a community submission from our 2025 Festive Kidney Cookoff – read more below.

A punchy, tangy dipping sauce with a little heat and lots of flavour. It’s designed to lift dumplings without relying on extra salt, and it works just as well drizzled over a bowl-style meal.

Pair with: Pork & Cabbage Dumplings

2025 Festive Kidney Cookoff

This recipe is a community submission from our 2025 Festive Kidney Cookoff.

Shared by Angela, mum to Maddie. When Maddie was diagnosed with kidney failure as a teenager, their family quickly had to rethink how they approached food. Together, they learned to adapt recipes, reduce potassium and salt, and find creative alternatives while still enjoying delicious meals.

Cooking side by side helped them navigate the changes and support Maddie’s health along the way.
