Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Dark soy sauce
1 cup Thin soy sauce
1 cup Sugar
2 cups Water
3 Dried chili peppers 2 sl ginger root
2 tablespoons Five whole flowerets, star anise
½ cup Peanut oil
2 Cloves garlic, split

Directions

Add all ingredients to saucepan and boil 15 minutes. Refrigerate sauce.

Simmer foods in this sauce, as the foods absorb the salty taste, you may need to add more soy sauce to compensate.

Do not use fish in this sauce if you want to keep it long.

Basic Sauce is used over and over again to slow-simmer a number of foods. It imparts its own flavor to what is cooked, and grows more savory with the cooking of different foods.
