The paste functions as a broth base, stir-fry sauce, and marinade in a single jar, so you can retire separate bottles of stock, seasoning sauce, and marinade to keep your pantry uncluttered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the ingredient list short and simple?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

At 3.53 oz, the jar is compact, and because the formula is concentrated, you use only a small amount per dish, so the jar stays slim in your cabinet or fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it match a neutral, minimalist kitchen aesthetic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
