     1 c  Thin soy sauce
     1 c  Sugar
     2 c  Water
     3    Dried chili peppers 2 sl

          - anise
   1/2 c  Peanut oil
     2    Cloves garlic, split

 Add all ingredients to saucepan and boil 15 minutes.
 Refrigerate sauce.

 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.
