Asian White Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp ginger, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp cornflour mixed with 3 cups of clear vegetable stock
  • a pinch sugar
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

You can generally replace the chopped ingredients with powder, though you’ll want to add extra since dry ingredients are less potent than fresh. This is generally a popular sauce for lighter flavored main ingredients, like fish or vegetables. Whereas meat has a heavy flavor to it and can handle a dark sauce, it’s a good change of pace to use white sauce with more delicate foods like seafood.

The key is to tweak anything you cook to match what you like. You have to adjust it until you get it the flavor you like. If you love garlic, put a little more garlic. If you hate it, don’t put as much. Too salty? Use less soy or less salt. After a little tweaking, you’ll find a personal recipe you enjoy the most.
