Tips
Fish sauce is a special flavor created by Sichuan chefs, which gives off a strong fish aroma even though there is no fish in the dish at all.
Characteristics of fish sauce: red color, fresh and delicious, salty, sweet, slightly sour and spicy, ginger, green onion and garlic flavor.
The color is red and bright, mainly from the oil fried pickled peppers (fried aroma color) at the same time vinegar and soy sauce should not be more (black)
Salty, sweet and slightly sour and spicy, then it is heavy salt and sugar, light vinegar (the amount of salt depends on the dish, sugar, vinegar for the salt of the two or three times) here I did not buy pickled peppers, I used the bean paste to enhance the flavor.
