Hunan sauce is made of bold and flavourful ingredients, including: Chili Paste: This is the first ingredient that comes to mind when we think about Hunan cuisine. It's a crucial element that brings the heat to the dish and contributes significantly to its flavour. Soy Sauce: We use soy sauce to add salt and umami flavour to the Hunan sauce. Rice Vinegar: This mild-flavoured vinegar adds a tangy taste and helps balance out the spiciness of the dish. Oyster Sauce: This is a thick and savoury sauce that contributes a slightly sweet flavour to the Hunan sauce. Honey: We use honey to balance out the heat from the chili paste and give the sauce a pleasant sweetness. Garlic: This adds a pungent and slightly sweet aroma and flavour to the sauce. Cornstarch: We use cornstarch to thicken the sauce and give it a glossy sheen. All of these ingredients come together to create a sauce that packs a punch of bold and flavourful heat. You can adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili paste and red pepper flakes to suit your preference.
