Sweet, Aromatic Soy Sauce (复制酱油)

Another treasure from the sichuanese cuisine and Fuchia Dunlop’s “Land of Plenty”. This soy sauce is the base for the lovely “hot and garlicky” sauces and the famous Zhong dumpling dressing. It can be made in large quantities and keeps indefinitely.

RECIPE

1/3 cup dark soy sauce
2/3 cup water
6 T brown sugar
1/3 cinnamon stick
1/2 t fennel seeds
1/2 star anise
1/2 t sichuan pepper
1 small piece of ginger, unpeeled, crushed

Combine all ingredients in a pan.
Bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Turn the heat down and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Strain out the liquid, leave to cool.
