| Orange peel, dried mandarin |
A seasoning that gives a perky flavor highlight to braised dished. Buy from Chinese stores, or make your own by placing mandarin orange peels, scraped of white pit, in the hot sun or a low oven until completely dry. Grated lemon rind added to a dish at the last minute is a reasonable alternative. |

| Oyster sauce | a thick brown sauce, an extraction of oysters, whose distinct sea flavor accentuates other flavors in a dish rather than overpowering them. It is also used as a condiment, particularly on Chinese green vegetables. |
