6 Must Have Chinese Ingredients – Chinese Cooking 101

Speak about Chinese ingredients, I can talk about it for days — seasonings, spices, fermented products, dried ingredients, fresh ingredients… Just look at what I have on hand. Honestly, I got lost when I started to make this video. So, today, I’m going to focus on 6 sauces (Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Chinese Black Vinegar, Chinese Cooking Wine, Hoisin Sauce, Sichuan Dou Ban Jiang) you’ll definitely need for most of my Chinese recipes. All the other stuff, we will talk about another day.
