[HO I FA] Natural Mustard (200g)
The Soul of Hakka Cuisine: Natural, Salty-Savory Umami Rediscover the rustic charm of traditional Chinese cooking. Ho I Fa’s Natural Mustard is crafted using a time-honored process of salting, fermenting, and sun-drying fresh mustard greens. Unlike mass-market preserved vegetables that rely on artificial colors and sulfur dioxide for shelf life, this version is 100% natural, utilizing only sea salt and the natural dehydration process to lock in its complex, earthy fragrance.
Commonly known as Meigan Cai, this dried mustard is prized for its "meat-like" depth of flavor. During the drying process, the natural sugars and proteins in the mustard greens undergo a slow transformation, resulting in a dark, concentrated ingredient that acts as a powerful flavor enhancer for plant-based and traditional braises alike.
