Have you ever tried to make Chinese at home? I have often wondered what is that extra ingredient that makes Chinese taste like heaven. If you ask us then we will tell you that its not the ingredients that make the difference. Yes, ingredients do matter in Chinese but its 70% responsible. The rest 30% are the sauces used to make Chinese. Soya sauce, chilli vinegar, tomato sauce are some common sauces that are used to make Chinese. But the one sauce that makes Chinese a classic dish is Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce.


What is Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce made of?

The key ingredient in Lee Kum Kee Chilli Bean Sauce is fermented Soybean paste. But that’s not all what makes this sauce a key ingredient for Chinese are dehydrated garlic, acetic acid, spices, malt syrup, sugar, water, salt and a pinch of honey.




Uses of Lee Kum Kee Char Siu Sauce

Have you tasted an authentic barbecue chicken? The rich colour, tangy taste and a light flavour in the chicken is induced with the help of Lee Kum Kee Chilli Bean Sauce. Apart from chicken this sauce can also be used to prepare seafood, and meat. Mostly the Lee Kum Kee Chilli Bean Sauce is used during marination but in some Chinese dishes it is also applied during cooking.


Conclusion

Therefore, we can say that Lee Kum Kee Chilli Bean Sauce is an ingredient without which Chinese dishes especially barbecue fish, chicken and meat wouldn’t have tasted the way it tastes. It brings out the flavour without using a lot of ingredients.
