Treat your ingredients with care...
- Soy sauce — Use a high-quality soy sauce for the best flavor. If you prefer a less salty sauce, you can use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Chinese five-spice powder — If you don't have Chinese five-spice powder, you can make your own by combining equal parts ground cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns.
