Japanese Sauce
Aloha,
Japanese sauce. This is a sauce I like to use for cold noodles, main dishes, dips, cold salads. I found this recipe at Just Hungry , my favorite Japanese blog. I like to supplement this sauce with dried chili flakes for just a bit more kick. But it is good as is. Keep it handy, make a large batch and store in the freezer.
It can be difficult sometimes living in Uruguay where Asian food is so rare to find. There is only one grocery store that sells some Asian ingredients and its about 35 minutes away by taxi ride. So I make a special trip once a other month or so and I end up buying things in bulk. Basically cleaning out the store.
The owners always greet me when I am there and we have conversations in Spanish and they always try to sneak in a bit of Mandarin -which I don’t speak-.
