Recipe of the month

I've decided to start a "recipe of the month" for this blog; basically, I discover a recipe that interests me very much and I post it here after trying it out.

This month's recipe is for Finadene Sauce. Finadene sauce, according to Wikipedia, is "a salty, spicy, sour all-purpose condiment used in Chamorro cuisine." Chamorro refers to the culture of the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam, by the way.

Here it is:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup white vinegar (you can also use lemon juice, but I used vinegar and added a "dash" of lemon juice)
1/2 cup soy sauce 2 green onions , thinly sliced (1 small white onion, finely chopped, can be substituted)
3-5 small minced hot peppers (apparently, boonie peppers are the best to use; I used a serrano; tabasco peppers are more similar to a boonie, however)

Preparation:
Mix vinegar and soy sauce together
Add onions and peppers
Shake well
(Keep refrigerated)

For good recipes to use it on, try searching around the Internet for recipes from Guam (chicken and grilled fish seem appropriate).

So, try it out!
