Marinades play an essential role in Chinese cuisine, adding a depth of flavor and complexity to dishes. Chinese marinades typically contain a combination of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and other seasonings. They are often used to marinate meats, seafood, and vegetables before cooking, enhancing the natural flavors and tenderizing the ingredients. Some popular Chinese marinades include soy sauce and five-spice powder, hoisin sauce, and oyster sauce. Marinades can also be used as a dipping sauce or glaze for grilled or roasted dishes. At Taste of China Kitchen, we use authentic Chinese ingredients and techniques to create delicious marinades that transform ordinary dishes into extraordinary ones.
