Chef Brandon Jew's popular restaurant is located in San Francisco's Chinatown and is named 'Mister Jiu's.' There, he combines traditional plates that are strongly inspired by his Chinese grandmother, fusing his own skills and notes that he's learned throughout his career as well.
William Sonoma works in collaboration with Brandon Jew to create a selection of sauces and seasonings for home cooks looking to add some traditional Chinese flavors to their dishes. The curation is based on recipes at his restaurant, with the sweet and sour wok fry sauce, the ginger scallion wok sauce, umami wok fry sauce, chile crisp sauce, garlic black bean sauce, and peanut butter hoisin sauce. One of the standout selections from the range is the sweet and sour wok sauce, which feature a sweet and tangy taste. This is reinforced by ginger, habanero chiles, honey, and citrus, which perfectly glazes meats and vegetables.
