Brown sauce is a staple in Asian cooking… Think of things like Beef & Broccoli. It has a great flavor similar to Hoisin sauce but not quite as complex. Use it in stir fry recipes, and all thing Asian. I do not have many images; however, the final photo of broccoli and beef says it all. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
