Pane-Bistecca
Asian chicken in fish sauce is a quick, easy dish. Fish sauce is a main ingredient in Asian dishes. It is partly sweet and partly salty. Actually, it is originally from Greece, you can find it in writings from 4th JH! But also, the Chinese made fish sauce, and its production dates from 200 B.C. Who invented it? Take your pick!
And what is the fish sauce made of? Fermented fish, to be exact; the salty, fishy taste comes mostly from oily fish like anchovies.
The process of making fish sauce can be quite lengthy because of the fermentation process. Some companies have found ways to speed up the fermentation process without sacrificing flavor. However, many also stick to the traditional way of making the seasoning – by taking their time.
