What seasoning do you want for home cooking? Let's talk about it, not to mention the particularly simple oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

There are many kinds of condiments in Chaozhou cuisine. Such as bean paste, fish sauce, red soy sauce, sesame oil, fragrant soy sauce, Zhejiang vinegar, orange oil, plum mutton, sand tea sauce, halogen lemon, three-way sauce, southern ginger, mango, celery and so on, are really endless.

The method of making seasoning is quite unique. Fish sauce is a light brown transparent liquid made by soaking the brine of fresh river fish salvaged from the sea. Extremely fresh and sweet, because of the fishy smell, foreigners are not used to it, but locals often use it instead of soy sauce as seasoning. Another example: sand tea sauce, which is a synthetic sauce. Its ingredients include pepper, shrimp powder, jade bran, white sugar, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and peanut oil. This is a dark brown paste. It tastes spicy, but it's not as spicy as pepper. It's sweet and fragrant, Xian Yi.

Chaozhou people is very particular about the collocation of condiments. Every dish and soup has one or more special condiments. Take a bowl of beef ball soup as an example. Before it reaches your table, it has been sprinkled with fish sauce, monosodium glutamate, pepper, fried garlic paste, a few drops of sesame oil, and finally a few pieces of chopped celery. After serving, add a dish of sand tea sauce for you to dip in beef balls. What is more noteworthy is that these seasonings are not mixed into the cauldron in advance, but are mixed bowl by bowl. When mixing seasonings, customers can also specify what the stall owner adds and keeps according to their own tastes. Another example: put a plate of white-cut chicken, put several sauces around it at the same time: sesame oil, bean paste, fish sauce and orange oil, and sprinkle a handful of emerald coriander in the middle of the plate for your choice.
