Thai, Vietnamese, and other Southeast Asian pots use it where white sugar would taste flat.Curries need it against fish sauce and chilli. Vietnamese caramel and braises, pad thai, desserts, and a cocktail syrup all shave from the same block. Grate or melt what you need. Don't try to pour it.500g is a kitchen block a home wok can also keep. Store it dry, wrapped, so it doesn't pick up the smell of the spice shelf.
