Soy sauce
30. October 2014
And to these recipe recipes, here I have one written in Indonesia.
Kecap manis (kecap - sauce, manis - sweet) is one of the most common and most important ingredients in Indonesian cuisine. They add bakso, fried rice or noodles to the soup. They do the perfect chicken (ayam kecap manis) that I learned in Indonesia and soon find it here on Kitchenette.
Kecap manis is a sweet sauce that is similar to our more famous Japanese teriyaki sauce.
To ingredients ...
Originally the recipe includes palm sugar , which you can easily replace with cane dark (this is one that contains more molasses, unless you come across a business trick when the sugar is called dark and it is beet sugar dyed ... I have happened to us But back ... canola sugars with higher content of molasses are, for example, muscovado, demerara, turbinado, ...).
In the recipe I also mention the root of galangal , which is similar to ginger, of a smaller character, but taste different. It is also often used in Thai cuisine, such as kha soup (coconut soup). If you do not get it, do not worry and just skip it. It will not be such a problem in Prague, but for those of you who can not even walk in Asian ingredients, visit the Sapa Market in Libus, where you can find everything. Sapamap , the project of my friend who mapped this market, will be very useful. Without it, Sapa becomes as clear as any other China town. Thanks to Jakub!
Some recipes include half a teaspoon of ground coriander, 1 - 2 cloves of garlic, or a spoonful of fresh grated ginger. What to add? Even in Indonesia, every dog has another village. I know it's confusing. To begin with, I would definitely use star anise, galangal and possibly garlic.)
Postup
Sugar, soy sauce, put the water in the middle pot and heat slowly while stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the remaining ingredients and cook slightly until the liquid is reduced to the consistency of thin syrup. After cooling, it gets a little thicker.
Stir the syrup, allow to cool and store in a sealed container.
