Taucheo is used in a lot of chinese recipes. It has a few variation from normal taucheo to minced taucheo or black taucheo.
Taucheo is quite salty, and everytime a dish requires taucheo, I’ll omit the salt. Because Taucheo is very salty, you need to balance out the flavour with some sugar. If you’re not used with Taucheo, I’d advice to add in little at a time.
Taucheo goes well with fish, chicken, and pork. But, today I’m going to show you how to cook Spicy Taucheo Pork, this dish is perfect for lunch or dinner. If you can’t handle spiciness, you can omit the chilies out from the dish.
So, let’s start cooking. Hope you’ll like it.
