Soy and Oil Hot Sauce 辣椒醬 (la-4 jiao-1 jiang-4) Soy sauce and oil spiced with chillies: the Chinese answer to vinaigrette? But for noodle soup and dumplings, rather than salads.


 

 

Makes 1 medium jar

Ingredients
150 g (5.5 oz) fresh cayenne chilli peppers, chopped finely
70 g (2.5 oz) garlic, chopped finely
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Method

  1. Place ingredients in a pot. Bring to a boil and simmer gently with lid on for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. When cool, stir and pour into a glass jar.
  3. Stir before each use.

Notes:
Measures are not critical; vary them as you please. The sauce should keep well for an extended time. Refrigerate for longer storage.
