  • 2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Grab all three garlic cloves, take the bottom of and slice them with a Chef’s knife in the opposite direction. Now you have to chop the garlic as fine is you can.
  • The previous written instruction for the garlic applies to the ginger as well. Cut off the skin of the ginger, slice it and chop it as fine as you can.
  • Take your carbon steel pan, place it on Napoleon Grill and add 3 tbsp of peanut oil. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a little bit of ginger and wait till it starts sizzling and frying.
  • Quick-fry the garlic and ginger. It doesn’t need to be fully cooked. You just want to release its flavors.
  • Add 125 ml cane sugar and 250 ml soy sauce. Mix it up and wait till the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Pour in 2 tbsp of rice vinegar and 2 tsp of sesame oil.
  • In a separate bowl, mix 3 tbsp of cornstarch and 3 tbsp water until smooth. Add this mixture and stir for 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
