🧂 Ingredients

1 Add 200g of water to a pot and let it boil. Then, add 2 Chinese black cardamom
pods, 2 pcs of star anise, 1 tbsp of fennel seeds, 2-3 cinnamon sticks, 3-4 bay
leaves, and 1 tbsp of sand ginger. Cook everything for about one minute.
2 Pour about 500g of light soy sauce, 100g of brown sugar, and 50g of rock sugar
into the pot. Turn the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 40 minutes.
3 The sauce will be pretty thin at first. After boiling it, the sauce will be much
thicker. Dip a spoon into the sauce and check if the sauce is sticky. If so, the
sauce is done.
4 Run the sauce through a strainer and remove all the spices from the sauce. Then,
let the sauce cool for at least 6 hours before you use it.
