Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh chives thoroughly and pat them dry. Then, chop them into bite-sized pieces, about 0.5 to 1 cm in length. For the spicy green chili pepper, remove the stem, slice it lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and then mince it finely to add a pleasant kick to the sauce.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the sauce! In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 3 tablespoons of sweet plum extract, 2 tablespoons of tangy lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Add the prepared chopped chives and minced chili pepper to the bowl. Finally, stir in 1 tablespoon of savory sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. Mix everything together well with a spoon or a whisk until thoroughly combined. Your delicious multi-purpose sauce is ready!
Step 3
This versatile sauce is excellent for immediate use. It’s fantastic for dipping pan-fried tofu or for spooning over warm tofu dishes. The creamy texture of the tofu paired with the savory and zesty sauce creates a wonderfully satisfying meal.
Step 4
Furthermore, this sauce elevates grilled meat dishes beautifully. Drizzle it over freshly grilled pork belly, shoulder, or any other meat for an extra layer of flavor that cuts through richness and adds a delicious umami. You can also stir-fry it with vegetables like onions and carrots, adding a spoonful of this sauce to transform them into a flavorful side dish. Enjoy experimenting with it in various recipes!
