Jia Xian Pea Starch 125g

Unlock the secret to glossy, stable sauces and authentic textures with Jia Xian Pea Starch. This premium, finely-milled starch is derived from high-quality peas and is highly valued in Chinese culinary tradition for its superior thickening properties and neutral taste. Unlike some other starches, it creates a beautifully clear, glossy finish that enhances the vibrant colour of your dishes without clouding flavours.

An essential ingredient for achieving the perfect consistency in many classic recipes, it is the traditional choice for thickening hot pot broths, stir-fry sauces, and braises. It's also the key to creating the delicate, translucent coating for dishes like Sweet and Sour Pork or Crispy Fried Prawns, and for binding fillings in dumplings and meatballs. A versatile, gluten-free pantry staple for the discerning home cook.

Why You'll Love It:

• Crystal-Clear Gloss: Thickens sauces and soups to a shiny, transparent finish, perfect for presenting vibrant, appetising dishes.
• Heat-Stable & Smooth: Resists breaking down under prolonged heat, maintaining a smooth consistency without becoming watery.
• Neutral Flavour Profile: Does not impart any taste, allowing the true flavours of your ingredients to shine through.
• Authentic & Versatile: The preferred starch for many traditional Chinese recipes, from restaurant-style sauces to homemade dim sum.

Ideal For: Thickening hot pot soup bases, stir-fry sauces (e.g., black bean, oyster sauce), creating crispy batters for frying, and binding fillings for dumplings and spring rolls.
