Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use it for both cooking and dipping? A: Yes — its smooth, balanced flavour works equally well stirred into hot dishes during cooking or poured into a small dish for dipping dumplings, sushi or spring rolls.
Q: How should I store it once opened? A: Shake well before use and store in a cool, dry place. It doesn't need refrigeration, though some people prefer to keep it chilled for extended freshness.
