Cooking tips for Toon Sauce: 1. Toon sprouts contain a large amount of nitrites, blanching them removes these, making them healthier to eat; 2. Toon sprouts should not be boiled for long, remove them once they change color, let them cool naturally, preferably covered to retain the aroma; mix after the sauce cools to retain the aroma as much as possible; 3. Any leftover Toon Sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, use a clean spoon to scoop out, and it can be preserved for a long time.
