Step 1: Preparing the Garlic-Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp light (usukuchi or white) soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 to 2 tbsp sweetener

To prepare the sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients and mix to combine. We like to use a glass jar for this and just put a lid on it and shake it up.

Once done, taste for seasoning, adjusting the flavors and balance of the sauce as desired.

Note: If making this sauce for the Hainanese Baked Tofu, you will want to double or even triple the recipe.
