How to recognize it
A prepared cooking liquid with a recipe that varies by maker; it is not tofu coagulant brine or plain salt water.
In the kitchen
Used to simmer eggs before grilling Huaiyuan-style eggs; also used in other braised foods.
Its name does not establish whether it contains soy sauce, meat stock, sugar or particular spices. Check the actual recipe for animal ingredients and allergens; colour cannot identify the composition.
