The seeds are toasted over a meticulously controlled wood fire, steamed to break down the seed walls, then shaped into oilseed cakes in circular molds. These circular cakes, wrapped in paper, are stacked in a hydraulic press and slowly compressed together to squeeze out the oil. Unlike expeller-pressed sesame oil, a method that generates heat, this compression method is a low-heat process, which keeps the oil as pure and unaltered as possible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe resulting oil is toasty, fresh and well balanced.

They’re made from two different species. White sesame oil is made from hulled tan\/brown seeds, while black sesame oil typically has the hull on.

This salt comes from the Zhou Nan Salt Fields of Budai in Chiayi. They date back to 1824, when they were built to expand Taiwan's growing sea salt industry. This was one of Taiwan’s largest salt producing regions; salt villages and communities developed here, and along with fishing, made up a large part of the local economy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSadly, all of Taiwan’s traditional salt fields were closed in 2001 due to market pressures. But, in 2006, the Budai Cultural Studio applied for and was granted the right to restore and manage the Zhou Nan fields as a non-profit cultural revitalization project. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePutting the fields back into use was not as simple as opening the floodgates and letting the sea flow in. The fallow land had cracked and dried up, unable to hold seawater any longer. The association recruited elderly salt workers to train a local team in salt knowledge and production. Together with the association, they resalinated the land with 300 tons of salt, relined the salt pans with clay, and relaid much of the mosaic tile lining. It took 6 years to restore the fields to a condition where salt could be produced once again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir perseverance paid off—these folks are now making some of the best salt in Taiwan, representing (as they put it) Taiwan's Sea, Soil, Wind, Sun and People. The salt is beloved by many fine dining establishments in Taiwan, like two Michelin star restaurant Taïrroir.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It's Made\u003c\/h4\u003eTaiwanese sea salt is made by the power of sea, land, wind, and sun.  In the fields, a combination of tides, gravity, retaining walls, and water-gates isolate seawater as it evaporates to higher and higher concentrations. Successive pools are situated at lower and lower elevations, so the water can flow easily to the next phase. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo increase the efficiency of production, salt pans in Taiwan were lined with pottery shards pressed into the clay. These mosaics radiate heat upwards, increasing the evaporative power of each pool. The smooth surface of the tile also prevents the salt from sticking to the bottom during harvest. When the water reaches the right concentration, salt crystallizes out and is harvested and dried. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSalt making in this fashion is extremely weather dependent. Zhou Nan has turned this fact into a core feature, making and releasing salt according to the natural (though changing) cycles of the earth.

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.

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.

Radishes are planted in September, then harvested and preserved between October and December. Once harvested, members of the association preserve both the radish and its leaves.

The addition of tomato, a Taiwanese favorite, boosts the umami in the sauce, contributing to a deeply flavorful condiment that balances slightly fruity heat with light sweetness and umami.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt makes a great sauce for dry noodle dishes or a dip for danbing.

These additives are derived naturally from the fermentation of tapioca starch, and interact with the natural glutamates present in the soy sauce to create a flavor that is distinctly Taiwan. We are comfortable with these ingredients, and even though not required to declare them in the ingredients list, we do.

They hand make their soy sauces and soy pastes the traditional way: sun-brewed in giant earthenware vessels (many of which have been in use for decades), then cooked slowly over a wood-burning fire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile tradition is their foundation, under the leadership of third-generation operators Yi-Cheng and Yi-Che Hsieh, the brewery blends inherited know-how with experimental impulse and collaborative spirit to expand the boundaries of soy sauce production. Think soy sauce brewed with Taiwan-grown pineapples or soy paste mixed with local miso.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs with coffee or wine, Yu Ding Xing's ethos and practice illuminate how technique and terroir contribute to the flavor and body of a soy sauce.

A \u003ci\u003egood\u003c\/i\u003e lu bao turns your braising liquid into herbal gold and infuses it with the medicinal qualities of traditional spices like star anise, ginger, black cardamom, and cumin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lu bao, developed by popular Taiwanese food blogger Joe Deng of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/foodieat.tw\/\"\u003eFoodie Goodie 食貨誌\u003c\/a\u003e, has a cult following in Taiwan. Multiple people have come into our brick-and-mortar to request it. This lu bao is the most exceptionally fragrant and fresh that we've found, outside of a traditional Di Hua Jie apothecary.

It's got a rich, warm flavor that could be described as \"christmasy\" by those who celebrate, sort of like a savory mulling spice, but for all year round. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThirteen spice is a lesser known, but equally traditional spice blend. It's more complex, a bit stronger, and more botanically nuanced. Licorice-scented star anise and numbing, floral Sichuan peppercorns create a robust base flavor. Three kinds of ginger—common ginger, sand ginger, and galangal—add earthy, citrusy, and floral warmth. The remaining 11 herbs, like black cardamom, sha ren, and tangerine peel, each add their own piquant, bright, peppery touch to the bouquet. All spices are carefully bloomed in a low temperature roast before being packed, bringing out top-notch flavor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMake a classic Taiwanese lu wei master stock using our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/products\/lu-wei-bundle\"\u003eLu Wei Bundle\u003c\/a\u003e, which pairs this Thirteen Spice Braise Pack with Yu Ding Xing's Vat Bottom Soy Sauce, for a rich hit of umami, and Caramelized Sugar Soy Sauce, for buttery sweetness and red-brown color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOr, blitz it in a coffee grinder to make a diving thirteen spice powder, perfect for subbing in any recipe that calls for five spice powder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes and Usage\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLicorice, conifer, and citrus oil—teleports you straight to a traditional apothecary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUse this sachet to prepare Taiwanese favorites like lu wei (braised foods), \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.shop\/blogs\/recipes\/lu-rou-fan-1\"\u003elu rou fan (braised pork over rice)\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-fx__DUsafk\"\u003ebeef noodle soup\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunhai.substack.com\/p\/color-story\"\u003etea eggs\u003c\/a\u003e.
