Popular Categories of Taiwanese Canned Foods

Taiwanese canned foods offer a world of flavours and textures. Each product has its own story, and many are versatile in the kitchen. Here are some of the most popular types:

Canned Vegetables and Pickles

Crunchy, tangy, and full of character, these are perfect as side dishes, toppings, or meal enhancers.

• Pickled Bamboo Shoots – Sweet, crisp, and earthy. Perfect in congee, stir-fries, or eaten cold.
• Mustard Greens & Lettuce Stems – Add savoury depth and crunch to rice and noodles.
• Kimchi & Spiced Radish – Bold and spicy, ideal for those who love a punch of flavour.

Try: AGV Pickled Bamboo Shoot, MS Kimchi, Pickled Cucumber, Spicy Radish

Fermented and Preserved Foods

These deep-flavoured ingredients form the backbone of traditional Chinese and Taiwanese cooking.

• Fermented Bean Curd – Rich, creamy, and salty. A little goes a long way in congee, steamed veg, or dipping sauces.
• Spicy Bean Pastes and Sesame Oil Blends – Use as marinades, condiments, or stir into hot rice.
• Pickled Turnips and Soy-Based Preserves – Offer a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness.

Try: XP Fermented Bean Curd with Spicy Soybean Paste, Sesame Oil Bean Curd

Canned Meats & Seafood

Pantry staples for fast meals with bold, comforting flavours.

• Braised Pork and Luncheon Meat – Ready-to-eat options for rice, buns, or noodle soup.
• Preserved Fish – Savoury and umami-rich, perfect with rice or porridge.
• Gluten and Peanut Soy Stews – Protein-rich, often served as a side or warm snack.

Cooking Essentials in a Can

These ingredients provide a flavour-packed base for countless traditional dishes.

• Rice Wine and Fermented Sauces – Add aroma, depth, and sweetness to stir-fries, braises, and stews.
• Canned Curry Bases – Easy shortcuts to rich, spiced sauces without losing authenticity.
• Sweet Soybean Paste (甜麵醬) – Great in wraps, as a dip, or stirred into noodles.

Try: MS Sweet Soybean Sauce, XO Sauce, Chinese Rice Wine (if applicable)

How Asian Canned Food Resembles Traditional Cooking

Canned food is more than practical. In Taiwanese and Asian cuisine, it mirrors the flavours of home cooking while offering convenience.

• Long shelf life keeps tasty ingredients on hand.
• Sealed nutrients and flavours often last longer than fresh produce in the fridge.
• No fuss, no waste – open and eat, or stir into your favourite recipes.

From a morning bowl of congee with pickled mustard greens to comforting braised pork over rice, canned foods make tradition easy to enjoy, even on busy days.
