Sugar color is a natural coloring agent for cooking dishes. When making braised meat, using sugar to color the dish will make it rosy and bright, with a light caramel aroma, an effect that soy sauce cannot replicate. ?The fried sugar color can be fried and used immediately, or it can be fried in advance and diluted with water for later use. If you often make braised dishes, you can fry a bottle of sugar color at one time, store it in the refrigerator, and use it at any time, which is very convenient.
