- Dipping sauce
- Flavoring noodles
Simply add the sauce to your pan as you stir-fry your ingredients. It can be used to coat vegetables, meats, and tofu, infusing them with its characteristic spicy and savory notes. For a more intense flavor, you can simmer the sauce for a few minutes before adding other ingredients.

How it differs from similar foods
Compared to milder stir-fry sauces, this Hunan style sauce is intentionally spicier, featuring a more prominent chili heat. It often has a deeper, more complex flavor profile due to the inclusion of ingredients like fermented chili bean paste, which is less common in standard stir-fry sauces.
