Bamboo paste is reddish brown in color, salty and slightly sweet in taste, mellow in taste and rich in flavor. Generally used to make chicken, duck, pig, cow and other meats, it is one of the better sauces, which can enhance the taste and fragrance of dishes and remove fishy smell and greasy taste. It is one of the main sauces used in Cantonese cuisine, so it has a strong Cantonese flavor.

Stir-fried dishes with pig sauce are widely used. In addition to stewing common livestock and poultry meat, it can also be used to cook seafood or dip in sauce. Representative dishes made with bamboo sauce include bamboo chicken, bamboo duck and bamboo fish.

Origin of post-bamboo sauce:

According to legend, during the Tongzhi period of 100 years ago, the business of Sanpinlou Hotel near the ancestral hall was very prosperous. There is a chef in the hotel, surnamed Liang Mingzhu. He is very good at studying dishes, and the dishes he makes are unique in taste, especially the meat recipes, which are good in color, smell and taste. It turned out that Liang Zhuhou did not cook with the bean paste sold in the market, but made a sauce as a seasoning.

His cooking has been praised by everyone, and the business of the hotel is booming. Because customers like it, some customers bring their own containers and ask the stores to give each other gifts. At first, everyone bought a little, but later, more people bought it, and the daily output of 50 kilograms still could not meet the requirements.

Another third-class building is adjacent to the ancestral temple, with many tourists, and its name soon spread all over the province, so its products are sold to Nanhai, Guangzhou, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places. Later, Liang Zhuhou opened his own snack bar and also engaged in sauces. What's this sauce called? People gave it a name, called Zhu Hou sauce.

In the future, Liang Zhuhou made sauces with more care, and chose the best soybeans with salt, sugar, sesame and soy sauce. It tastes more fragrant and delicious than before. After Liang Zhuhou died of old age, people inherited his sauce-making method and popularized it. Bamboo paste has become a specialty of Foshan and sold all over the country.
