This came from The Indonesian Kitchen . It is easy and tastes better than the store bought as my daughter says. This can be used in recipes or as a dipping sauce all on it's own. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups brown sugar |
2 3/4 cups dark soy sauce |
3 cloves garlic, mashed |
1/2 teaspoon star anise pods |
2 slices fresh ginger |
1/2 cup water |
Directions:
1. Carmelize the sugar in saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
2. When the sugar has melted, add the remaining ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved.
4. Lower heat and cook for 10 minutes more.
5. Removed from heat and allow to cool.
6. Pour into a bottle and store in the fridge.
7. This can be stored for several months.
8. I do not strain it as the flavor improves with time.
