Suan mei (酸梅) — salted plums — have been cured in the Chaoshan coastal region for centuries, treasured not just as a snack but as a cooking ingredient that defines an entire flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is aged: whole plums slowly salt-fermented until the skin wrinkles, the flesh concentrates, and the salty-sour tang deepens into something rounder and more layered than fresh or quick-pickled alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat intensity is exactly what Teochew steamed fish requires — a plum or two tucked under the fish as it cooks, releasing a brine that balances tomatoes and salted mustard greens into the dish's signature sharp-savoury broth. Beyond steamed fish, use them to brew suanmeitang (sour plum soup) for a tart, naturally sweet drink that cuts through a rich meal, or add one to a braise for a quiet lift of acidity that rounds out the soy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Name: Chaoshan Collection Premium Aged Salted Plums\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: Plum, Salt, Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturing Date: As Printed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpiry Date: 12 Months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Origin: China, Shantou (Chaoshan Region)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNet Weight: 320g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chaoshan Collection","offers":[{"title":"320g","offer_id":46570082074694,"sku":"PREMIUM-SALTED-PLUM","price":19.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/2708\/6150\/files\/GeneratedImageSeptember15_2026-2_17PM.jpg?v=1789445895","url":"https:\/\/getsauce.com.au\/products\/chaoshan-collection-premium-salted-plums","provider":"Get Sauce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
