Gong Bao Chicken
This beloved Chinese dish, especially popular in the Hunan province, owes its distinctive heat and sourness to a fermented pickled chili relish called du jiao. My recipe is adapted from Fuchsia Dunlop’s acclaimed book, Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook: Recipes from Hunan Province.
Hot and Tangy: 3 Creative Uses for Fermented Chilis
Unlock the potential of fermented chilies with one base ferment, and create three incredible products: Duo Jiao, hot sauce, and sambal. Duo Jiao, a Chinese condiment made from fermented chilies and salt, adds a fiery kick to stir-fries and steamed dishes. Homemade fermented hot sauce offers a deeper, more complex heat perfect for tacos and eggs. Sambal, a Southeast Asian chili paste, combines fermented chilies and garlic for a tangy, versatile condiment. Transform your meals with these bold, spicy flavors!
