📋 Elements

- Chinese language rice wine – that is constituted of fermented glutinous rice and has a barely candy flavour.

Should you don’t have rice wine, you may substitute with sherry or mirin – however use ¾ of the quantity of mirin because it’s a good bit sweeter, and we have already got sweetness within the kecap manis.
- Kecap manis – it is a candy soy sauce with a syrupy consistency that provides a stunning candy and savoury flavour to sauces.
- Chow mein noodles – these are wheat-based noodles, typically made with egg, however not all the time. They’re often fairly skinny and pale in look. I purchase the dried ones on-line, as they’re troublesome to search out any of my native supermarkets. You can use effective egg noodles as an alternative, however I discover them a bit of extra eggy. If I can’t discover chow mein noodles, I have a tendency to exchange with ramen noodles (from ramen noodle packets, however with the flavour sachet discarded).
