This sauce, the backbone of the Philippines' best-known dish, is made by simmering vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaf and whole peppercorns down to a rich glaze. It freezes well in a jar or bag, so it can be made ahead and thawed whenever needed.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Simmer the vinegar

5 min

Simmer the vinegar uncovered in a wide saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes to soften its sharp smell.

2

Add the remaining ingredients

3 min

Add the soy sauce, bay leaf, peppercorns, garlic, brown sugar and water to the pan and stir to combine.

3

Reduce the sauce

30 min

Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes until slightly thickened.

4

Cool and freeze

10 min

Let the sauce cool to room temperature, remove the bay leaf, then transfer to a jar or freezer bag and store in the freezer.

Reminder

Simmer the vinegar uncovered for the first 5 minutes, or its sharp smell will dominate the finished sauce. Allergens: contains soy (soy sauce).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Freezing the sauce in ice cube trays lets you thaw only as much as you need each time, which is more practical than defrosting the whole jar.

Sirkeyi önce ayrı kaynatma adımı gerçekten fark yaratıyor, keskinliği çok daha yumuşak kaldı. Ailem ekşiliği fazla bulmadı.

30 dakika kaynattım ama benim tencerem geniş olduğu için su daha çabuk buharlaştı, sosum tarifteki kadar akışkan kalmayıp biraz fazla koyulaştı. Bir dahaki sefere 20 dakikada kontrol edeceğim.

Dondurucuda bir ay bekletip tavuk için kullandım, tadı hiç bozulmamıştı. Kesinlikle çift porsiyon yapıp saklamaya değer.
