Sugar

糖

Plain white sugar. Cantonese cooking uses it not for sweetness but to round a dish: two teaspoons in tomato and egg, half in a beef marinade, a spoon in a braise. Rock sugar and slab sugar are different things, kept for braising.

Origin

Made in Australia. Any supermarket; the everyday Australian bag is raw sugar, so pick white sugar or caster sugar for this.
