Chinese Sauce and Ingredients

A list of posts for homemade Chinese sauce and ingredients, how we make and use them in our Chinese home cooking. Including videos too. 

Very often my foreign friends asked me about Chinese sauce or ingredient. For example, one colleague asked, how do you make those Chinese sauce at home? Another friend said, there are so many Chinese ingredients and I have no ideas which one to use and how to use them.

So I thought it will be helpful for my visitors, if I can tidy up some of my posts about the Chinese sauce and ingredients that we used for our home cooking.

Some of post are videos which I think is to be useful too. I will update this page to add more things about Chinese ingredients and our homemade sauce here. So please stay in connection on my Social networks or subscribe to my Yuotube Channel to get the regular update.
