ASIAN ESSENTIALS: AWESOME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• You will need a saucepan and a good non-reactive jar to store it in.
• Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If stored correctly (in the fridge), it should last 6 - 8 weeks.
• The sugar in the recipe mitigates the tartness of the vinegar and tamari; however, sometimes I prefer it tart, so I leave the sugar out.
