There are so many Asian sauces out there, where does one even start? Here are some basics that will get you started. Happy Sunday! 💕

Sesame oil is another must for Chinese cooking!!

what a charming lady you are! [I am a 77 yr old East Texan who has studied Mandarin for 58 years and worked throughout the Far East] I cook a wide variety of 'oriental' dishes. I genuinely enjoy following your YT channel. Blessings and Joy to you and yours.

This is a brilliant video, I had to comment before watching lol. But I have wanted someone to do a video like this for so long. This will definitely make my cooking so much easier. Thank you so much for sharing 👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Yes, these are my go to Asian sauces as well, many of the exact same brands. In my list of basics, I would have to add Kadoya Sesame Oil. I use Sesame Oil in most Asian dishes.

Awesome topic! I also want to say thanks for showing me the world of Chinese and Malaysian cooking. I have learned so much watching your videos the last 6 months. I can walk into my local Asian market and I know what to look for now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

One ingredient I wish I could find is Flounder Powder. Also, this video and channel has been so helpful to me. Thank you! 😊

Best brands for everyday sauces...
Oyster = Spend extra, and get the Lee Kum Kee "old style" (must get old style, with the label with a lady on the boat, NOT the panda) as shown by Flo.
Hoisin = Lee Kum Kee or Koon Chun Hoisin Sauce
Sesame oil = Kadoya (Japanese)
Soy Sauce (reg aka light) = Kikkoman

This was such a wonderful (and helpful!) video. I have all the sauces, but didn’t really understand why. Now I have a much better understanding. Thank you so much, Flo and Dude! TFS, Sharon🤗

hoison sauce and oyster sauce are crucial in so many dishes to identify asian flavors that have been around for so many decades

[Communitysunshine]

This is GREAT!!! I really appreciate this!

[maryrichardson]

Thank heavens for this. I am in Nova Scotia and we got a wonderful new (to me) Oriental grocery store. You bet I went shopping for lots of new goodies.

[deltas]

Have a blessed Sunday, thank you for teaching more about the sauces in your recipes.

[singme]

FINALLY, for years I didn't know what to call the molasses version of soy sauce. YOU have answered my question from decades ago!!! Kecap (sp?) manus.

[idm]

Gracias!! Thanks for your video. Last Christmas a neighbour bake a jam with Hoisin sauce, it s my favorite! I try also chinese chili sauce with ice cream! Delicious.

[thelthrythquezada]

I have that fish sauce, Asian is #1 on my top 3 cultural foods. and it doesn't matter what type of Asian I will opt for that over any other country hands down!

[salixalba]

Tamari can be used as a gluten free soy sauce replacement and there are low sodium versions as well

Happy weekend to you all and many greetings from Brunswick in Germany :)
