East Meets West Thai Caramel Beef Noodle Bowl image

I call this my East meets West fusion sauce because it has American and Asian flavors fused together with an butter technique that leaves the sauce glossy and shiny. This has serious flavors and textures. It's sweet, salty, sour, & savory. I could eat it everyday.
