5 Essential Chinese ingredients One of them might SHOCK you!!!

5 Essential Chinese ingredients One of them might SHOCK you!!! My top 5 essential Chinese ingredients that I always have in my cupboards. For this list I'm using bottled sauces, oils and dried ingredients. These Asian ingredients are used in the majority of my chinese cooking and really bring out the far eastern flavours. I have put together my list and given you some recipe ideas alongside to give you some tasty inspiration. Of course no list of chinese ingredients would be complete without soy sauce which I use in pretty much every recipe I do. Another great thing to have is hoisin sauce which can really boost flavour in all meat dishes. Sesame oil which is used for flavouring and NOT cooking. Garlic powder for that extra savoury flavour. And of course my number one pick - fermented black beans which is made from soy beans and has that amazing, mouth watering aroma and flavour. But what is my mystery bonus ingredient...?!? Well watch the video to the end to find out. It might surprise you :)
