Taste & Role
🍯 Sweet
In Chinese cooking, paprika adds rich red color and gentle sweetness to marinades, spice rubs, braises, and stir-fry sauces without adding significant heat. It is also sometimes dusted over finished dishes as a garnish.
What it is
Paprika is a bright red ground spice made from dried sweet red peppers, most commonly Capsicum annuum varieties. It comes in sweet, smoked, and hot versions, with the sweet type being the most widely used. It is valued as much for its vivid red color as for its flavor.
