Water, vinegar, and sugar is all you need for the base, I assume. I'm sure you can throw in some garlic, a little red wine or something, and you'd be on the right track. I just don't want the sauce to be too thin or too bland. |
do what you want it is the essence of cooking afterall. if you do add wine or chicken broth it counts as a water portion. the balanced sauce like they make it in my fav chinatown restaurant (where this recipe comes from btw) is equal parts sugar, equal parts vinegar (acid), equal parts liquid (water in this case).
i'm not a chemist, but this chemistry is important for the consistency and the "bite" that you are looking for. |

That's just silly. It's a chemical, not a sauce! There was a comment on that site where a guy was like "yeah i put 7-10 crystals on my tongue, it wasn't that hot" I was like :rolleyes: |

| It's funny, I used to hate spicy food. Only recently I realized nearly everything I get is spicy as , and I just continue loading on mouth scorching sauces. |

eating spicy speeds up your metabolism....so unless you have IBS or something it is healthy.

You're not, but I did that for years too (been eating pho for about 10 years now). You are just supposed to dip the meats in it. |
