It’s produced by Ewe and Yishan of Mama Nyonya, a husband and wife team based in Central Taiwan. The recipe comes from Ewe’s great grandmother, who prepared it as a condiment for the family’s daily use and encouraged the couple to produce it in Taiwan after sampling the garlic grown on Yishan's family farm. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe garlic used in the sauce is the key ingredient for a startlingly fresh flavor. Yishan's family grows a specific kind of hard neck garlic called He Mei 和美蒜 that has smaller, spicier cloves than other varieties. The pepper mix?

The cooler weather and wide temperature swings between day and night create optimal conditions for developing potent flavor and a sturdy texture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo grow these mushrooms, farmers first make holes in the wood, into which they insert the shiitake spawn and cover with wax for ten months. Over those months, the farmers regularly water the spawn and roll over 100 tons of logs every few days, which stimulates the fungi and ensures even growth. After a ten-month inoculation period, shiitake mushrooms fruit in ten to twelve days. The farmers pick the mushrooms in the morning and sun-dry them until noon. Afterwards, they begin a labor-intensive drying process. The mushrooms are smoke-dried over a low-temperature longan wood fire, fueled by wood from the pruning of fruit orchards. This smoke imbues the mushrooms with the lightest touch of smoke, almost a coffee-like aroma. The layers of mushrooms must be rotated in the smoker for an even exposure, and the low, slow fire is watched for 48 hours to make sure the flame persists. Because the fire is so delicate, the farmers sleep next to the smoker, taking turns stoking it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShiitake mushrooms play a primary role in Taiwanese cuisine, adding characteristic earthy flavor to simple dishes like Braised Napa Cabbage 滷白菜 and Taiwanese Oil Rice 油飯.

The cultivar they grow is the original Alishan wild jelly fig, with a very high pectin yield. The fruits are harvested and dried by hand, then flipped inside out to dry, and the seeds are scraped off and packaged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe natural history of Ai Yu is untamed and beautiful. Ficus vines creep up old growth trees in the Alishan Mountain Range, fruiting two stories high and thriving for decades. An Ai Yu fig wasp, evolved specifically to this plant, pollinates the flowers, allowing the vine to develop fruit. The ripe figs fall to the ground and seeds spill into spring fed creeks, releasing their pectin and, as the story goes, creating spring-borne Jell-O. This stuff is truly wild, and is as much a gift of the wasp as of the plant. Though the vines are grown ornamentally worldwide, they fruit only in Taiwan, because it’s the only habitat for this wasp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ai Yu Jelly commonly available in North America is canned, stabilized with gelatin or carrageenan, flavored or colored with artificial agents, and shockingly cylindrical. The real thing is ephemeral, fractal, and endlessly dividing, lasting only a few days before reverting to liquid form, evading food science. We’re offering not the jelly, but the seeds, so you can make this at home and experience it as it was meant to be. Natural Ai Yu Jelly has a beautiful amber color, and often contains small fibers from the seeds. It sets at room temperature and can also be heated without losing its integrity.\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slippery, soft, Q滑 jelly \u003cbr\u003e(In Taiwan, Q means bouncy and 滑 means slide, so the real tasting note here is bouncy slide.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause the jelly is not sweet on its own, serve it with ice cubes, lemon, and honey for a classic Taiwanese preparation.

Although white jade daikon is relatively small—only the size of a karaoke microphone—it has thin skin and fibers, yielding a more finely textured product than those made from bigger varieties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst, members of the farmers’ association slice the radish into wedges and massage salt into it over the course of two to three days, ensuring that the moisture is completely drawn out. Then the radish is sun-dried in bamboo baskets for a few more days before packing. The salt and decreased moisture inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, and promote the growth of lactobacilli and other beneficial microbes, which consume the sugars within the radish to create an acidic environment. Throughout the process, wave after wave of different microbes peak and die off, metabolizing and transforming the radish from sharp and white to mellow and dark brown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll that daikon essence is condensed into a piquant, potent little shred of a thing.

These steamers combine alternating layers of bamboo and cypress wood, each chosen for their unique properties. Bamboo provides toughness and durability while remaining pliable and breathable. Cypress wood naturally expands and contracts with heat and moisture. Together, they wick water away from the steaming surfaces, preventing drips and waterlogged foods. As a bonus, they fill your kitchen with a warming, woodsy aroma that kisses the food with flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore the Tatung steam cooker, bamboo steamers, set over woks, were used for everything from you fan 油飯 (oil rice) to bao zi 包子 (filled steamed buns).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, steamer baskets are adapted to fit the Tatung steam cooker—an example of Taiwanese craft.

When slowly sun-dried, its flavor intensifies and transforms, in the same way sun-dried tomatoes and dried shiitake mushrooms are made richer by solarization. We don't think of this as a replacement for fresh cabbage, but as an entirely different form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse it to add leafy greens from the pantry in a pinch, but also for a hit of \"brassica jazz.\" In other words, come for the convenience but stay for the flavor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo use, soak a handful of dried cabbage leaves in hot water for 30 minutes, squeeze dry, and toss them in. Like a sun-dried tomato, the texture is different from the fresh version, but holds up with a bite of its own. It's edible straight out of the bag, too—experiment with it as a crunchy topping, or stir fry directly for a chewier mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the oldest methods of food preservation, sun-drying is an energy-efficient, lo-fi technique practiced throughout Taiwan. The most commonly known Taiwanese sun-dried food might be \u003ca href=\"\"\u003eshiitake mushrooms\u003c\/a\u003e, but \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/products\/ai-yu-jelly\"\u003eai yu jelly seeds\u003c\/a\u003e are also sun-dried. Not to mention the daikon for our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/products\/preserved-radish\"\u003ecured radishes\u003c\/a\u003e. But, the technique is used to dry many things, from mustard greens to seafood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe uniform and faster drying environment of a dehydrator or oven doesn't hold a candle to this age-old technique, which makes sense, considering the sun is our largest candle of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Note About This Version\u003c\/h4\u003eThis is a replacement for the dried cabbage mix we previously stocked. When we needed to find a new supplier, we decided to source our own and are presenting this new and improved (sugar-free!) version under our house brand. It's pure cabbage, completely free of added salt, sugar, or other seasonings, and we really stand by it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf using this new one as a replacement for the old, please expect the same level of sweetness from the cabbage alone, and note that there is no added salt, so you may need to use a little more than in the past. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It's Made\u003c\/h4\u003eOur dried cabbage producer Mr. Chen 陳 is a former champion oolong tea producer, whose family has been in the dried goods business for over 60 years. He personally sources cabbage from central Taiwan, and applies techniques from his tea-making background to dry cabbage meticulously, yielding a sweet and flavorful product without any additives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter being washed and sliced, the fresh cabbage undergoes three rounds of sun-drying before it reaches the optimal texture: not so dry that it loses color and texture, but not too moist, to prevent spoilage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe primary challenge is to remove moisture quickly enough, to limit the sun exposure to just whats needed. To achieve this, cabbage leaves that have been sun-withered are kneaded together inside a cloth bag. This technique is borrowed from oolong tea making, where it's primarily used to roll and oxidize tea leaves. Here it rapidly reduces moisture and is responsible for the curved shape of the dried cabbage leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis process is done mostly by hand to ensure consistent quality and taste among batches.\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMildly peppery and naturally sweet, with tender leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo reconstitute, boil for 1-2 minutes or soak for 30-60 minutes, then strain.
