- Colleen Fong, of still-lamented Colleen's Chinese Cuisine in
- Cambridge, Mass., taught a cooking class during a few January IAP's at
- MIT. Here is her sauce for "swans" (suan la chow show), which also
- goes extremely well on potstickers:
-
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce*
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (white)
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon minced FRESH ginger
- 1 teaspoon hot oil or hot oil paste**
- dash of white pepper
-
- Combine the ingredients.
-
- Make sauce a day ahead of time to allow flavors to blend.
-
- You can mince scallions finely on top of it before using it to dip
- ravs.
-
- If you want to double the portion, DO NOT ADD additional garlic,
- ginger, or hot oil.
-
-
- *Dark soy sauce can be purchased in Chinese grocery stores. Read the
- label---it contains molasses or sugar. It is darker and less salty
- than regular soy sauce. If you cannot find any, use regular soy sauce
- with a little bit of sugar.
-
- **To make hot oil, sprinkle a few drops of salt onto 1 teaspoon of
- ground red (cayenne) pepper (in a heatproof dish like Pyrex!) and set
- aside. Heat 1 tablesppon of cooking oil in a pan and pour it over the
- powder. This can also be purchased in Chinese groceries, but it isn't
- as good as home-made. Store extra hot oil in a clean jar. After it
- settles, the top layer is called hot oil and the bottom part is called
- hot oil paste.
