What This Product Is
This is our ready to cook slice programme, built for Suan Cai Yu, the Sichuan hot and sour pickled mustard green fish soup that has become one of the most ordered dishes in Chinese restaurants worldwide. Slices come either pure with no additives, or starched and marinated so the kitchen drops them straight into the broth. Five species are available on the same pack sizes, so an operator can run one pack format across different price tiers.
