The Wonder Soy Sauce (Recipe based from  白老師的萬能醬油)



All measurement here use a small or regular sized disposable paper or plastic cups.

You may make more or less portion on your own by half, double, or triple the portion as long as you have the right ratio proportion for the basic ingredients.

Ingredients:

3 cups of minced/ground pork
1 cup sugar (or less if you want to cut down on the sweetness and be more healthy)
6 cups soy sauce (suggests to use the one with less sodium)

1. Cook the ground/minced pork (other ground meat can also be substituted here such as beef/chicken, but pork flavor is good for this sauce) on frying pan, Stir and let it cook through and drain out the excess oil if possible before adding other ingredients.

2. Now add both the soy sauce and the sugar and cook everything together in a pot for about 5 minutes using low heat or until the sauce shows small bubbles.let cool and then stored in the refrigerator (if oil was not taken out in step one,which can still work, if you are in a hurry and decide to just throw everything in and cook all at once, then take out the white solidified oil after refrigeration)
 
Refrigerated shelf life of about 15 days to 1 month for this sauce, which is very useful for almost all the dishes to add the good Asian flavor (such as stir fried vegetable, fried rice (to replace the soy sauce and sugar), Tofu in brown sauce, etc.  This is an excellent brown sauce to be used in many occasions for Asian cooking!

做法:
1. 把所有材料放入鍋里,用小火煮到醬油冒出咖啡色的細為泡泡,就完成了。

1. 韓國粉絲用水浸軟備用。Korean potato noodles cooked according to instruction on package or soaked in water to soften to be ready for preparation.
2. 用少許油,爆香蒜蓉及其他配料盛起備用。use a bit oil to heat up the minced garlic slightly (medium heat to prevent burn), then add in others such as meat and vegetables suggested on the package.  Once everything is cooked, take them out and set aside.
3. 萬能醬油、水煮熱後加入已浸軟的粉絲及已爆香的配料。In a big pot or wok, pour in the wonder soy sauce and water, cook till just boiling then add in the clear noodles and the cooked ingredients in step 2.
4. 試味後可加入萬能醬油,最後加入香油及芝麻。Taste to see whether you need to add more wonder soy sauce or not to your likeness.  Lastly, coated the mixture with a bit of the sesame oil to add the distinct favor and garnish with the white sesame seeds on top.
很喜歡這個萬用醬油,煮很多中國菜都可加少許調味,醃肉時也可加少許代替醬油及糖。
白鍾元的節目一小節 (YouTube video clip instruction for making the sauce)

Tip: the amount of soy sauce twice of  the meat, sugar can be less as indicated above.

I love 白老師, he is one of my new favorite chef :) He likes sugar a lot though (a sugar baby) so I'm trying to cut down a bit on this recipe.  If you follow his video instruction, then do take out the oil on top after refrigeration or else it can be quite oily because of the nature pork fat though pork fat does provide some good flavor.
