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? Well that's a family secret (and pretty elaborate, as far as I can tell).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNyonya sauce is made in Changhua County, Taiwan.

I’ve heard many an elder wax poetic about the quality of these peanut and sesame oils, simply manufactured but fresh and flavorful. Dong He Oil, founded in 1921, has continued their cold press oil operation for four generations, and we’re proud to offer their traditional peanut oil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis peanut oil is cold-pressed in the old-fashioned way, so fresh you can smell the shell. Dong He uses a special variety of locally farmed peanuts called Tainan No.9, found only in Taiwan. These are small and mighty, famous for their intense peanut fragrance and high oil content. The resulting oil is nutty and warm, with an unmistakable melt-in-your-mouth peanut flavor. This is the peanut oil of your dreams, bringing an instant mouth-watering, warm flavor to all your dishes. Peanut oil has a high smoke point and is great for both stir- and deep frying.

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.

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.
