Simmer foods in this sauce, as the foods absorb the
salty taste, you may need to add more soy sauce to
compensate.
Do not use fish in this sauce if you want to keep it
long.
Basic Sauce is used over and over again to slow-simmer
a number of foods. It imparts its own flavor to what
is cooked, and grows more savory with the cooking of
different foods.
