Taiwanese Thick Soy Sauce (醬油膏)

Step 1

In a small saucepan, add half of the water and all of the sweet rice flour, mixing until well combined.

Step 2

Add the rest of the water with all other ingredients and mix well.

Step 3

Cook the sauce over medium low heat until it boils and thickens up, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 4

Remove from the heat, let it cook down and store in a container/jar in the fridge for a week.

Step 5

Simply add garlic into the thick soy sauce we've made and stir to combine.
