Seasoning sauces that are mainly used in Thai stir fried vegetables

2010-05-12T23:20:00.000-07:00

Fish sauce: Fish sauce is indispensable in Thai cooking. Made from salted, fermented fish or prawns, good quality fish sauce is golden-brown in color and has a salty tang. It is used in the same way as the Chinese use soy sauce.
Oyster sauce: It is the thick brown sauce made from fresh oysters. It has salty sweet taste, and is normally use to marinate the meat or added to Chinese stir-fried dishes.
Light soy sauce: A clear brown liquid used in much the same way that fish sauce is.
Seasoning sauce
Fermented soybeans
Sugar: I choose brown sugar because it contains more certain minerals than white sugar.
Ground pepper
Salt
