The Holy Grail: Chinese Brown Sauce at home.
We’ve been fooling around with recipes to try to get that authentic Chinese food-at-home for years. We’ve gotten sort of close. I am happy to report that our quest has come to and end thanks to fellow blogger Emily at Eat Close To Home. Emily has 3 basic sauce recipes, Brown Sauce, White Sauce and Spicy Orange Sauce.
We made the Brown Sauce, good God it’s good. Our only suggestion is to make 50% more sauce than the recipe calls for cuz we like lots of sauce.
Ed- Glad you liked the sauce! I made it with a teen cooking class, and they looked at me and said, “Wow! This tastes like Chinese food!” Ayup… :)
Emily, we made it last night and it was outstanding. My little bunny Erin (who is picky) dove right in and said, “this is great!”. I knew we were on to something.
I’m really digging your blog. Gonna try the bread recipe soon, I’ll post on your site how it goes. Thanks - Ed
