Looed Brats

Looing sauce take 2!

A quick refresher...looing is a Chinese cooking method wherein meat is simmering in a flavorful sauce which can be reused several times as long as 1) it is boiled before each use and 2) it is never used for fish.

I used the looing sauce instead of beer to simmer brats before grilling them.  The Asian flavor was subtle but present, and it was nice to have a slightly different preparation for a summer grilling staple.  Also alcohol-free, if that's your thing (my thing is to drink the beer rather than put raw meat in it ;-) )


Looed Brats
Makes 4 servings

4 bratwurst
4 cups looing sauce

Bring the looing sauce to a boil, and boil 1 minute.  Add brats and turn down to a simmer.  Simmer 10 minutes, turning brats once. 

Remove brats to a paper towel lined plate to dry slightly before putting them on a hot grill.  Grill 2-3 minutes per side, 8-12 minutes total. Pin It
