About Chinese wet sauces

Chinese wet sauces are a cornerstone of traditional Chinese cuisine, adding depth, flavor, and moisture to countless dishes. Typically, these sauces are made from ingredients like soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, fermented bean paste, and rice vinegar. They can be sweet, spicy, salty, or savory, depending on their application, and are commonly used in stir-fries, marinades, dipping sauces, and braises. While some sauces are rich in umami and provide essential minerals like sodium and potassium, many contain high amounts of sodium, sugar, or oil, making moderation important for a balanced diet. Traditional recipes often focus on fermented ingredients, which can promote gut health, though processed versions may lack these benefits. Understanding ingredient labels and choosing lower-sodium or sugar alternatives can help make these delicious sauces fit more healthfully into meals.
