About Duck sause
Duck sauce is a sweet and tangy condiment commonly used in Chinese-American cuisine, often paired with spring rolls, egg rolls, or fried dishes. Despite its name, it contains no duck. Traditionally, it’s made from a blend of apricot or plum puree, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and spices like ginger or garlic. The sauce’s bright orange or amber color and fruity flavor make it a favorite for adding a touch of sweetness to savory dishes. While duck sauce is low in fat, it’s high in sugar and sodium, which may not be ideal in large amounts. However, its small servings make it manageable as an occasional treat. Originating as an adaptation of traditional Chinese plum and hoisin sauces, duck sauce is a Western creation that balances sweet and sour flavors, embodying the fusion of cultural culinary traditions.
