About Siu haau sauce

Siu haau sauce is a sauce identified by a Cantonese-style name, also commonly written siu hou. The catalogue record does not give a recipe or brand, so the name should be treated as a variable sauce category rather than a fixed list of ingredients or flavour profile.

It is used as a condiment, seasoning, or cooking sauce in savoury foods. Commercial versions may differ in thickness, colour, sweetness, saltiness, and seasoning, and can be smooth or contain small particulates. These properties depend on formulation; the name alone does not establish a particular dish or set of ingredients.
