Seeking recipe gyoza dipping sauce

I got some frozen gyoza and would love it if I could recreate the delicious sauce they serve them with in Japan. Can anyone help me out?

    I use equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar topped with minced ginger and chopped scallion.

    I add some grated daikon and shichimi (7 spice) if i'm feeling fancy.

    Here's a recipe my Japanese mother would make:

    Soy sauce
    Fresh squeezed lemon juice
    Fresh grated ginger
    Fresh grated daikon radish
    Minced scallions
    Crushed toasted sesame seeds

    I don't know the exact ratios (I always eyeball and mix to taste), but here's a rough estimate:

    1 cup soy sauce
    1 lemon
    1 teaspoon ginger
    1-2 Tbs. daikon
    1 scallion
    1/4 teaspoon crushed sesame seeds

    Mix together, enjoy!

    Thanks everybody, I tried it tonight... I just used what I had in the house, so ginger, shoyu, a little bit of lemon juice, and rice vinegar... plus a pinch of sugar. It turned out great!

    When I was in Japan (for almost 5 years - I came back in 2000), there was a restaurant my wife and I used to frequent (actually, there was more than one :)). They had you make your own gyoza sauce with the ingredients right at the table. The ingredients were soy sauce, sweet vinegar (you can by this in an oriental market or make your own by heating vinegar and adding sugar), and either spicy sesame oil or regular seseme oil.

    It tastes very similar to the stuff you can buy in a bottle (except for the spicy seseme seed oil).

    Hope this helps.
