must start adding more tumeric to the recipes!!!!!!
if you just want to mix something up quick then this works really well. Great as a dip.
liquidise to combine
4 tablespoons wheat free soy sauce
1 and 1/2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 teaspoons sesame seed oil
Half a chilli pepper finely chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
or to be more traditonal and to really get the flavour for cooking
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 garlic clove, finely chopped
2/3 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder
half a chilli pepper finely chopped
1/2 cup red miso paste
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar. i sometimes use 3 of apple cider vinegar and add it at the end on high heat and let it boil off quickly
heat the oil in bottom of a small pot over medium heat. cook garlic and five-spice powder for about 45 seconds. you'll really get the fragrance. then add the remaining ingredients whilst constantly stirring, let it boil, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes whilst still stirring. stop once it slightly thickens. let it cool before using.
you could add some black bean to it to get it more smokie and less sweet. Also, you can use honey instead of maple which gives a nice variation
i'll often start a variation using a bigger pot with 3 onions chopped and cooked on medium heat for six minutes, add brown cane sugar, 1/4 cup and cook for a further 5 minutes stirring constantly. most important to stir with the brown sugar and stir at the bottom of the inside of the pot and avoid the sides. have to make sure the sugar liquidise with the juice from the onions. then only a 1/4 cup of maple in the recipe. makes a great relish for all sorts of wraps and flatbreads.
