Spicy Ginger and Lime Dipping Sauce
We vary our soy-ginger dipping sauce by adding the fresh taste of lime and sweet and spicy chili sauce. The sauce is a nice complement to summer rolls filled with vegetables, but could also be used with steamed dumplings or egg rolls. Originally served as part of: Summer Sledding.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
