Stir-fried Squid Flowers with Zhuhou Sauce

Stir-fried Squid Flowers with Zhuhou Sauce

Overview

When I was sorting out the seasonings at home, I found a bottle of Zhuhou sauce. I don’t know when it came from a gourmet gift package. I had never cooked with Zhuhou sauce, so I had the urge to cook a dish with it to feel its taste. So for the first time, I fried a squid tentacle with Zhu Hou sauce. When I took the first bite, I immediately felt that this was not the taste of Cantonese food. It has a fresh and sweet taste, a fragrant aftertaste, and a soft feeling. I finally realized that most of the most classic flavors of Cantonese cuisine come from the flavor of this Zhuhou Sauce. So I searched on Baidu: Zhuhou Sauce is delicious in color, moderately sweet, and has a fragrant black bean flavor. It is a unique condiment. For more than 100 years, Zhuhou Food has become one of Foshan's most distinctive food ingredients, famous far and near, and highly praised by people. This time I made a dish of fried squid flowers with Zhuhou sauce, which fully combines the sweetness of Zhuhou sauce with the deliciousness of squid, so that you can make delicious authentic Cantonese-style dishes at home.
