Essential Chinese Sauces and Condiments: Ever wondered what makes a well-stocked Chinese pantry, and how to get started to setting up your own? Read this guide for the most essential Chinese sauces and condiments that you can’t do without. With these fundamental building blocks, you’ll be able to recreate many other common Chinese sauces to make your dishes flavourful and delicious!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many readers have been asking which brands of sauces and condiments we use for our recipes and where to purchase them, as not all brands are readily available at the regular supermarkets and grocery stores. So today, we have decided to open up our pantry and put all our essential Chinese sauces and condiments on display, so you can easily refer to it when cooking any of our recipes.<\/p>\n

Since we all face the constraint of limited kitchen and fridge space, we have decided to focus this list only on the essential Chinese sauces and condiments, which are the building blocks for recreating other types of Chinese sauces. For example, we don’t include Char Siew sauce and Black Bean sauce, because you can recreate your own with these basic ingredients (see our\u00a0Grilled Char Siew (Sticky Chinese Roast Pork)<\/a> and\u00a0Stir-fried Beef with Bitter Gourd<\/a> recipes.)<\/p>\n

These are our recommendations based on our best knowledge at this point, but if there are any essential Chinese sauces and\/or brands that you think should be on this list, we welcome your suggestions in the comments below. We will continue to update this resource as and when we come across new brands \/ sauces worthy of making it to our essential Chinese sauces list!<\/p>\n

We are also working on a similar guide for other Chinese pantry categories such as Dried\/ Preserved Foods, Fresh Chinese Vegetables and Common Chinese Cookware and Utensils which we feel will be especially useful to beginners in Chinese cuisine. So if you have any special requests, please let us know in the comments below!<\/p>\n
