Seriously delicious! "Easy & powerful" spicy and appetizing "all-purpose sauce" recipe and how to use it
Hello. I am Ayumi Nakaganji, a chef.
The scorching heat continues day after day... When you feel tired, don't you crave something sour?
This time, we will introduce you to a "spicy black vinegar sauce" that is perfect for such occasions.
"Black vinegar" has a longer fermentation period than regular grain vinegar, so it has a mellow, umami-filled taste with a less sharp sour taste. However, it seems that many people buy it and end up with leftovers that they can't use up.
If you're thinking, "Oh, that reminds me, I haven't used up all of it!" then try using it in this recipe this summer.
Extremely versatile! "Spicy black vinegar sauce"
It can be used as a chilled tofu dressing, salad dressing, steamed chicken or fish, boiled pork, or mixed into noodles! It's a versatile sauce with a refreshing taste that is easy to use.
