Chinese garlic sauce

Chinese garlic sauce is an essential accompaniment in Asian cuisine, especially in the cooking of China, where intense and aromatic flavors are the main focus. This sauce combines fresh garlic with ingredients that provide umami, such as oyster sauce, and fresh touches like ginger. In different Latin American countries, this sauce can be found under similar names or simply as oriental-style garlic sauce, adapting to local palates while maintaining its original essence. Its use is very versatile, as it accompanies everything from rice to meats, and it is a perfect example of how Chinese cuisine has influenced and enriched global gastronomy.

In Mexico, for example, it has been integrated into the preparation of fusion dishes, while in countries like Argentina or Colombia, it can be found on the menus of restaurants specializing in Asian food, often recommended to enhance the flavor of meats and rice. This sauce stands out not only for its taste but also for its speed and ease of preparation at home, allowing anyone to give that special touch to their everyday meals.
