Ingredients for Vietnamese Soy Recipe
1. Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is the star ingredient in this recipe and it is important to use a good quality one for the best flavor. Light soy sauce is preferred for this recipe as it has a milder and less salty taste compared to dark soy sauce. However, if you only have dark soy sauce, you can dilute it with water to achieve a similar flavor.
2. Garlic
Garlic is a staple in Vietnamese cooking and it adds a fragrant and delicious flavor to this soy recipe. Make sure to mince the garlic finely so that it evenly distributes in the sauce.
3. Shallots
Shallots are often used in Vietnamese cooking for their sweeter and milder flavor compared to onions. They also add a nice crunch to the dish.
4. Sugar
Vietnamese cuisine is known for its balance of flavors, and sugar is often used to balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce. You can adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference.
5. Black Pepper
Black pepper adds a subtle heat and depth of flavor to the soy sauce. You can use freshly ground black pepper or pre-ground pepper for convenience.
Instructions for Vietnamese Soy Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of minced shallots, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 2: Marinate the Meat
Place your choice of meat (chicken, beef, or pork) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the meat is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3: Cook the Meat
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the marinated meat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the meat is fully cooked. You can also grill the meat for a smokier flavor.
