Pro Tip‼️
Adding salt, sugar, and acid to tomatoes can enchance the flavours of the ingredient.
- Salt doesn't just make the dish salty but also brings out it's natural sweetness and acidity of the tomato.
- Sugar on the other hand, brings harmony to the dish and adds more caramelization AKA more depth of flavor to the dish.
- Acid, in this case black vinegar, adds brightness to the dish and take it up a notch by bringing more complexity. Even more so with black vinegar as it has a more malty and richer flavour.
By adding these three in tandem, with the spiciness from Chilli Chan's Crispy Chilli Oil, it is sure to level up this sweet and salty combo.
Sweet, salty, spicy, and hearty ❤️
