Garlic Soy Sauce
Save Recipe
This garlic soy sauce is like a magic potion that will make your meal taste like it comes from a fancy restaurant. It's quick, easy, and turns your everyday dishes into something special.Note - measurements can be approximate, but I recommend keeping liquid ratios the same.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon dark soy sauce, see note 1
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce, see note 2 (or fish sauce)
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Mix together the ingredients (¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 6 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp brown sugar, ¼ cup water) with a whisk until sugar is dissolved.
- (optional) if you want a thicker sauce, add all ingredients to a small saucepan and whisk until sugar dissolves. Mix together 1 teaspoon cornflour and 2 teaspoon water, then add to the mixture and stir until it begins to thicken. Let it cool before transferring to a container.
Notes
Note 1 - Dark Soy Sauce
The dark soy with the soy sauce is recommended to intensify the flavour. If you don't have it, substitute with regular soy.
Note 2 - Oyster Sauce
Oyster sauce is like 14 sauces in one and really adds another dimension. If you don't have it, substitute with fish sauce, hoisin sauce, or more soy (if you absolutely have to).
Serve with
You can use the sauce as a marinade for proteins like Chicken, Pork, Beef or even in Vegetarian dishes.
Try and substitute it as the sauce in Stir Fry dishes. You can use it over some Rice and add your favourite protein and veggies.
Storing
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
