Ingredient Notes
Soy chunks – I use soy chunks for this recipe, but you could use other types of meat alternatives, like crispy cauliflower, tofu, tempeh, or store-bought vegan chicken. This sauce is very versatile!
Potato starch 片栗粉 – it’s used to coat the soy chunks for frying. It gives them a super crispy, chewy texture. If you don’t have potato starch, you can use cornstarch for the same effect.
Mirin – it is a type of rice wine with a slightly sweet, tangy flavor. It’s a staple ingredient for many Japanese dishes, especially since it pairs really well with soy sauce. It’s readily available at Asian supermarkets and online.
Gochujang (コチュジャン) – it’s a fermented chili paste popular in Korean cooking. Gochujang is a great condiment to use for savory, spicy and slightly sweet flavors. It’s sold in any Asian supermarket or online.
Sweet chili sauce – also known as Thai Chili Sauce or Asian Sweet Chili Sauce. It’s made with red chili peppers, rice vinegar and sugar. Some sweet chili sauces may contain fish sauce or honey, so make sure to check the label. For those in Japan, Kaldi often sells a wide range of sweet chili sauces, most of which are vegan.
