Ingredients for Sake stew with peppercorns Serves 4 – 5 people
Ripe sake: 1 piece Green peppercorns: 50 grams Seasoning: 10 g (vegetarian fish sauce/soy sauce/vegetarian seasoning/sugar/whole pepper/caramelized sauce/oil/…)
How to choose good sake for cooking:
- Unlike young jackfruit, the spines of sake are not as sharp as those of jackfruit. When ripe, the spines of the sake will open up and will no longer be prickly.
- Choose ripe sake for stewing or braising because besides its rich flavor, ripe sake also has a distinctive sweetness.
- The aroma of sake is usually a combination of the scents of jackfruit and custard apple.

Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing, peel the sake and soak it in water mixed with lemon for about 30 minutes to allow the sake to release all its sap and at the same time to keep the sake white and not discolored.
After soaking, wash the sake thoroughly with water and cut it into bite-sized pieces, it’s best to cut them thick for braising. Crush the green pepper.
-
Fry the sake
Pour enough oil into the pan to fry the sake, when the outside layer of the sake is just firm and no longer soft, take the sake out.
Note: Do not fry the sake until golden because when braising, the sake will be hard to absorb the seasoning and will become tough.
-
Cook the braising sauce
Take a deep pan or pot, add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of coloring sauce. Bring to a boil, then add the crushed green pepper and stir well with chopsticks. When the mixture simmers lightly, add a little water.
Note: When using young sake for braising, you should add more sugar to the braising mixture to enhance the flavor of the dish.

Sake Braised
When the spice mixture simmers lightly again, add the fried sake and stir well, then add ground pepper (to taste), and continue to stir until the braising liquid is reduced, then turn off the heat.
Prepare a clay pot and add the sake inside, placing a fresh green pepper on top, cover the pot, and serve at the table to enjoy.
Note:
– Since sake is soft, do not braise it for too long on the stove as it will not taste good anymore.
– You can add a little cooking oil to make the dish glisten before serving it on a plate or in a pot.
– You can serve the sake on a plate and eat immediately, but if using a clay pot and keeping it covered until you are ready to eat, the dish will retain its heat and the sake will absorb the spices better.
