Fu Chun Jiang Chinese Preserved Vegetable ‘Zha Cai’ 340g

Chinese preserved vegetables are a intensely flavoured pickled vegetable from southeast China. Traditionally, they are extremely popular in Sichuanese cooking. 

The Sichuan-style preserved vegetables, also known as ‘zha cai’ or ‘zha chi’ have an enjoyably salty, pickle-like flavour, with a slightly bitter, spinach-green taste and a kick of chilli powder. Chinese preserved vegetables are made from the root of mustard greens or Chinese radish.

For a simple but flavourful meal, serve finely minced Chinese preserved vegetables on top of plain, steamed tofu with a drizzle of soy sauce and sesame oil. The flavours work particularly well with shredded pork, and are a great way to enhance noodle dishes and soups.

Ingredients: Chinese radish, chilli powder, salt, spices.
