照烧莎莎酱制作指南

This fusion condiment brings together Japanese teriyaki flavors with Mexican salsa freshness. The result works brilliantly with grilled fish, chicken, or as a surprising dip for tortilla chips.

Before you start

Make the teriyaki base first, then add fresh ingredients

The teriyaki needs to reduce and cool before mixing with fresh vegetables, or it will cook them. Have all your vegetables diced and ready before you start the sauce.

Ingredients

The reduction

Watch for the spoon-coating stage

The teriyaki is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and holds a line when you draw your finger across it. This takes about 8-10 minutes of gentle simmering.

Step by step

  1. 制作照烧酱底. 在小锅中将生抽、味醂、红糖、米醋、生姜和大蒜一起搅拌均匀。用中火加热至微微沸腾。
  2. 收汁增稠. 用1汤匙水将玉米淀粉调成光滑糊状。倒入沸腾的酱汁中不停搅拌。继续煮至酱汁能够挂在勺背上,约8-10分钟。
  3. 彻底放凉. 离火让照烧酱底完全晾至室温,约15分钟。放凉过程中酱汁会进一步变稠。
  4. 准备新鲜配料. 趁酱汁放凉时,将番茄切丁后用细网筛沥干5分钟。切洋葱丁,剁碎墨西哥辣椒,切香菜碎。
  5. 混合所有配料. 在搅拌碗中,将放凉的照烧酱底与番茄丁、洋葱、墨西哥辣椒、香菜、青柠汁和盐轻柔拌匀。尝味后根据需要调整青柠汁或盐的用量。
  6. 静置入味. 上桌前让莎莎酱静置10分钟。在第一个小时内风味会持续融合发展。

Questions

照烧酱底可以提前制作吗?
可以,照烧酱底可冷藏保存一周。与新鲜配料混合前先回到室温即可。
没有味醂怎么办?
可用1/4杯米醋加1汤匙糖替代,或用干雪利酒加少许糖。
为什么我的莎莎酱会出水?
要么是混合时照烧酱底还太热,要么是番茄没有沥干。一定要让酱汁完全放凉,并沥掉多余的番茄汁。
