I make a bit of Shrimp and have started making my own sauce to go with it. I am experimenting with Oyster Sauce mixed with Black Bean Sauce, to create a flavor.

Anyone have experience with Asian sauce recipes?

Essential ingredient: Chinese 5 Spice.

True: I don't really know wtf the stuff is, but some of it must be used in almost all chinese food. I had a bottle and ran out, began making stuff without it, and thought "Samson, WTF are YOU DOING!!!"

Was there something about the Thread's Title "Asian Sauce Recipe" that confused you?

I though maybe 'helow' is Asian and something was lost in translation? :eusa_whistle:
 
I'd like to find the recipe for Cream of Sumyungai, which was mentioned in Wayne's World.

The basic variety includes anise, cinnamon, fennel, cloves, and pepper. I have a rub which is a 12 spice version with the additions of cardamom, chipotle, cumin and some citrus flavoring - it's great for grilling.

Damn, I was hoping it had Ground Targ Tusk, Gagh, or dried Regulan bloodworm.

Those are in the Altairian version.
 
Are you trying to make a Black Bean Shrimp stir fry? The sauce is an acceptable sub for the black beans in any dish that calls for them. My wife goes through oyster sauce like people change their socks...she uses it as a flavor enhancer in numerous dishes.
