Bamboo paste, which is said to have been created by Foshan chef Liang Zhuhou, is one of the specialties of Foshan. Used for cooking the meat of chickens, cows, ducks, pigs and other livestock and poultry. Fragrant and tender, not greasy.
According to legend, during the Tongzhi period of 100 years ago, the business of Sanpinlou Hotel near the ancestral hall was very prosperous. There is a chef in the hotel, surnamed Liang Mingzhu. He is very good at studying dishes, and the dishes he makes are unique in taste, especially the meat recipes, which are good in color, smell and taste. It turned out that Liang Zhuhou did not cook with the bean paste sold in the market, but made a sauce as a seasoning. His cooking has been praised by everyone, and the business of the hotel is booming. Because customers like it, some customers bring their own containers and ask the stores to give each other gifts. At first, everyone bought a little, but later, more people bought it, and the daily output of 50 kilograms still could not meet the requirements. Another third-class building is adjacent to the ancestral temple, with many tourists, and its name soon spread all over the province, so its products are sold to Nanhai, Guangzhou, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore and other places. Later, Liang Zhuhou opened his own snack bar and also engaged in sauces. What's this sauce called? People gave it a name, called Zhu Hou sauce. In the future, Liang Zhuhou made sauces with more care, and chose the best soybeans with salt, sugar, sesame and soy sauce. It tastes more fragrant and delicious than before. After Liang Zhuhou died of old age, people inherited his sauce-making method and popularized it. Bamboo paste has become a specialty of Foshan and sold all over the country.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, bamboo paste was produced by Haitian Soy Sauce Factory. 1956 produced 64 tons, of which 400 kilograms were sold to Hong Kong and Macao. From 65438 to 0967, Haitian Soy Sauce Factory was renamed Zhujiang Soy Sauce Factory with the trademark of "Zhujiang Bridge". 1978, the annual output of Zhuhou sauce 1 18 tons, and the export volume is 78 tons. By 1985, the output reached 385 tons, and the export volume was 106 tons. 1985, Zhuhou sauce won the title of "quality product" in the province. Up to now, bamboo sauce is still one of the famous brand products of Haitian enterprises.
