The sauce is commonly used in a variety of dishes due to its creamy texture and depth of flavour. It pairs exceptionally well with fried foods, as the batter in these dishes has crevices that help to catch and hold the sauce, allowing for better coating of the food. Some of the popular dishes that can be enhanced by this sauce include salted egg tofu, prawns, pork, chicken, and fried rice. It can also be used as a dip for French fries or mantou (Chinese steamed buns). Its rich, creamy texture and distinctive taste make it an excellent addition to enhance the flavors of your cooking.
