It’s easy to make the essential sushi dipping sauce.  

Everyone knows that sushi is always better with the condiments, including spicy mayo (mayo and sriracha sauce, quantity depends on desired heat) and that thick, sweet, teriyaki-like concoction known as sweet sauce. 

It’s simple to make too. Simply boil the ingredients together until thickened. Then dip away!
