Taste & Role
🍯 SweetSavory
Adds tangy sweetness, vibrant red color, and body to sauces. It is the backbone of many sweet-and-sour dishes, works as a base for dipping sauces and glazes, and can deepen the flavor of braises and stir-fries.
What it is
Ketchup is a thick, smooth tomato-based condiment made from cooked tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, and seasonings. While it is a staple American condiment, it also plays an important role in Chinese cooking, where it appears in classic dishes like sweet and sour pork and stir-fried shrimp with ketchup.
