A
sauce used widely in
Chinese food, especially with
wrap-style dishes such as
Peking Duck and certain
dim sum, as well as
Chinese roasts such as
roast pork,
duck and
goose. It is very
sweet and has a smooth
texture, not unlike
Oyster Sauce. It is a very
rich sauce, so don't use too much of it at once. Sometimes mixed with a
sour sauce to balance its sweetness. I especially like it with
Green Onion Pancakes.
Ingredients (makes about 1 1/4 cups)
Cooking
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then simmer a few minutes to blend flavors.
- Let it cool, then chill. Tastes best if refrigerated, covered, overnight to allow seasonings to mellow. Serve chilled.
