Versatile asian sauce

: food, April 29 2025 ▶

Looking for a proper way to cook eggplant (was utter failure at the end), I have stumbled on a asian sauce recipe, which I heavily modified to make this wonderful, all-purpose, wonderful sauce.
It goes well with vegetables, poultry, fish.

1 chilli, finely chopped.
3-4 dices ginger, finely chopped.
Saute them for 2 mins in 3tsp sunflower oil.

Add 6-8 pressed garlic cloves.
Add 1/2 tsp dry ground coriander.
Saute another minute or two, just do not burn the garlic.

Dry-bake 2 tsp sesame seeds until golden brown, careful not to burn it!
Put them to the garlic/sunflower/chili/ginger mixture.

Add the following:
2tsp sugar
2tsp sesame seed oil
3tsp vinegar
5tsp light soy sauce
5tsp oyster sauce

Use chopper or other type of mixer to combine all.
Enjoy.
