英译：Pepper sauce is a traditional Hakka condiment from the Zijin area, made primarily fromgarlic and chili peppers. Besides being used as a daily condiment, many chefs in Guangdong liketo use Zijin pepper sauce as a cooking seasoning, integrating it into Cantonese cuisine. The Hakkapeople in Zijin have a long history of producing pepper sauce. According to the "Zijin CountyAnnals," "Zijin Yong'an brand pepper sauce, originally known as Shen Hongchang chili sauce, was founded in the 36th year of the Qianlong era." The production of pepper sauce in Zijin adheres to traditional craftsmanship and recipes, combined with modern scientific techniques. After years of exploration, a unique set of productiontechniques has been developed while fully preserving the original flavor. First, locally selectedgarlic is peeled, washed, and sun-dried, then placed in large earthen jars with coarse salt forpickling for 120 to 180 days. When the garlic naturally exudes oil and a fragrant aroma, chilipeppers, fennel seeds, and star anise are added, and the mixture is ground into a paste using astone mortar and pestle. Next, it is packed into glass or ceramic jars and mixed with blended oils(peanut oil, sesame oil), then sealed. The pepper sauce produced in this way has a golden-red, bright color and is highly regardedin culinary applications. Pepper sauce is deeply rooted in Hakka folk life and is beloved by the people of Zijin. In the1960s and 1970s, as one of the "Three Treasures of Zijin," pepper sauce was exhibited and sold atthe China Import and Export Commodities Fair in Guangzhou, gaining popularity amongcustomers both domestically and abroad, especially among the Hakka people. The productiontechniques of Zijin pepper sauce, rooted in traditional culinary culture from the Central Plainsregion, utilize local ingredients and traditional craftsmanship. It serves as an important carrier ofZijin Hakka history and culture, offering valuable insights into the social development history, traditional customs, and Hakka culture of Zijin.
