Basic Chinese Ingredients
Bamboo shoots are the fresh shoots of the bamboo plant, which make an excellent vegetable. Fresh shoots taste better than canned, but must be peeled, sliced and boiled in water for about 20 minutes before using. Pre-cooked sliced bamboo shoots, packed in water, can be found in the refrigerated section of supermarkets and are convenient and ready to use. Canned bamboo shoots should be boiled for 5 minutes to refresh before using.
Black bean paste (tau cheo) is similar to Japanese miso but much saltier—made of soft, slightly fermented soybeans in a salty brown sauce with a distinctive tang. They are mashed and used to season fish, noodle and some vegetable dishes. They are sold in bottles in supermarkets.
Oyster sauce is a sauce that is soy-based with oyster extract. Vegetarians should look for a version sold as mushroom oyster sauce
.
Rice wine is used frequently in Chinese cooking. Japanese sake, mirin or a dry sherry may all be used as substitutes.
Sesame oil is extracted from sesame seeds that have been toasted, producing a dark, dense and highly aromatic oil that is used for marinades, sauces and soups, or as a table condiment. Its nutty, smokey flavor has become a hallmark of Chinese cuisine.
Black Chinese mushrooms have large caps with creamy gills. They are normally sold dried, but are also available fresh in many places (same as shiitake). The stems of the dried mushrooms are discarded because they are too tough to eat. Fresh shiitake stems are quite edible. Dried black mushrooms are often preferred because their flavor is stronger than fresh ones. They must be reconstituted by soaking in hot water for 20 minutes or longer (up to an hour if you've purchased the thicker, more expensive grade). Squeeze
