Here are some of our favourite sauce recipes to get you started:

Hong Kong Beef XO Sauce

This is a traditional XO sauce, rich in umami flavours and perfect for Chinese cooking. You'll need fermented soybean paste (doenjang), fermented chilli paste (gochujang) and chicken powder, all of which you can buy online or from Asian grocers. For the gochujang, look for a Korean brand, as supermarket-own alternatives tend not to have the right flavour.

To make it, take 175 ml of vegetable oil and add half of it to a saucepan or wok on medium heat. Once it's hot, add 125g of very finely chopped lean steak and cook it until it is browned. Add 125 red chilli's, which you've made into a paste in a food processor. Cook the chilli and meat until the bubbles die down. Add 125 doenjang and mix it all well, then add 50g of gochujang. Stir in 50g of caster sugar and 2.5 tsp of chicken powder. Add the rest of the oil and then cook the sauce gently for up to ten minutes until it takes on a rich colour and dark, deep flavour. Stir in 25g of sesame seeds and 25g of chilli flakes and let the sauce cool.

This sauce keeps well in the fridge for a few days. It will add lovely, authentic flavour to all of your Chinese dishes. Find the full recipe here: https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/andrew-wongs-beef-xo-sauce/.

Why use glass bottles for sauces

Glass bottles have so many advantages, and they're particularly good for sauces!

Firstly, sauces can contain brightly coloured ingredients - think of vegetables such as tomato, chilli and pepper, for example, and spices such as turmeric and paprika. These brightly coloured ingredients can stain other containers, particularly plastic, but glass doesn't become stained and retains its colour beautifully.

Glass is also incredibly easy to clean and make sterile. It's also surprisingly durable, especially if you buy the strong glass used for sauce bottles, so you'll find it can last for an incredibly long time. Simply sterilise it using your preferred method in between sauce batches, and you can simply refill and reuse your sauce glass bottles endlessly, and just add a new cap with each batch.

At Wares of Knutsford, we also love glass because it's eco-friendly and can be recycled endlessly without damaging the planet. We further support this by wrapping our glass in non-plastic wrap to enhance its sustainability and as part of our commitment to keep single-use plastic out of our business and packaging.
