Notes
Chilli bean sauce: Made from fermented soy beans, chilli bean sauce adds depth and flavour to stir-fries, curries and noodle dishes when used in moderation. It’s available from the Asian section of the supermarket. Shao hsing Chinese cooking wine is made from fermented glutinous rice, millet, yeast and water. You could use dry sherry instead. Light soy is lighter in colour than regular soy sauce and has a more delicate flavour, but is saltier. It is often used in recipes when you don’t want regular soy to darken the food’s colour.
