If you have not figured it out yet, I like to make as many things from scratch as possible; especially, sauces, and soup bases. There are several reasons: 1. They are better for you. 2. They do not contain any unwanted chemical preservatives. 3. You can adjust them to suit your own tastes. I love drizzling this sauce over a big bowl of ramen noodles. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
