Caramelizing Sauce for Noodles
Creates a Sweet, Tangy Sauce Which Aids in Caramelizing Udon Noodles and Other Food in a Stir Fry
Ingredients
3 teaspoons of sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons of rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon of ground white pepper
4 oz of teriyaki sauce
1 oz water
4 tablespoons of brown sugar
3 or 4 large cloves of garlic, pureed in a food processor
2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root, peeled and pureed in a food processor
Method
Mix all ingredients together in a microwave safe container and heat for about one minute on medium power. Stir well to dissolve all of the brown sugar. Cool and refrigerate in a convenient and resealable container. I use a ketchup dispenser bottle.
To use, simply add to your frying pan or wok with the item or items you wish to caramelize. Cooked, drained wheat noodles such as udon (elementary Japanese wheat noodles) noodles are great for this. This sauce is also excellent for stir fry.
I caramelize my noodles with this then toss in broccoli, bean sprouts, edamame, spinach, and cooked chicken or beef. Then I top it off with black sesame seeds and chopped cilantro.
