For the sauce, heat oil in a sauce pan, when hot add garlic, onion whites, carrot, green chilies and saute for a minute
Add vinegar saute for a minute more, add tomato ketchup, soy sauce, sugar mix everything well. Add salt to taste

For The Dry Version :
Do not add water and add dumplings straight to the cooked mixture. Just sprinkle little water if required
Footnotes: 
While making the dumplings in case you add more water mix a little more rice flour or maida
