Introduction: Sugar, known as white sugar, is a refined sugar made from sugarcane or sugar beets. It is widely used in cooking to enhance the taste, aroma, and appearance of dishes. White sugar can be considered a versatile ingredient, acting as a buffer in recipes. If too much salt is accidentally added while stir-frying or seasoning fillings, adding a small amount of white sugar can help reduce the salty taste. When preparing acidic soups or broths, adding a small amount of white sugar can not only balance the acidity but also create a harmonious flavor. Even when excessive chili is added during cooking, incorporating some white sugar can effectively alleviate the spiciness.
