What food can you make with tomato sauce? When tomato sauce is used to make food made from aquatic animals such as shrimp and fish, it is usually added after the ingredients are cooked to 6-7%. Its main function is to remove fishy smell and refresh. When tomato sauce is used to make chicken wings, ribs and other poultry-based foods, it is usually added to the pot as the main seasoning at the beginning, so that it can be easily tasted, and the cooked dishes are often full of fragrance.
