Demi-glace sauce is the foundation of Western cuisine—one of the most essential elements in a professional kitchen.
While you can easily buy it in cans or bottles, making your own rich and original demi-glace from scratch is what truly defines a high-level cook.
And if you can make it at home, your guests will definitely be impressed.
In this video, I experimented and adjusted ingredients along the way to refine the recipe.
But if you follow the measurements summarized here, you should be able to make it more smoothly next time.
This was also a great learning experience for me.
This sauce can be used for many dishes such as hamburger steak, hayashi rice, omurice, and more.
I hope you will give it a try!
