I marinated some chicken thighs in that same hoisin sauce, a bit of dark soy sauce, with a little bit of broad bean chili paste, then grilled. Came out awesome.

Understanding the sauces is paramount to being a good Asian cook. I look at that table and can say that I know all those plus the brand differences. Having a good Asian supermarket in town and a curious pallet has definitely helped me in my quest to master Chinese cuisine. Thanks.

I am an Oyster Sauce freak. I just love how yummy it makes my stir fries. Thank you so much for breaking down the sauces. Your videos are awesome!!!

I just started to use black rice vinegar today as noodle sauce, the taste is so flavorful and brightens up the dish. And yes. Home-made hot oil is amazing!

This is hands down the best video that sums up all your essential Chinese sauces. Great job!! I regularly use like 90% of them, the other 10% I will give them a try!

Sesame paste is used in humus, we usually buy it in quart jars from middle eastern markets at a really low price. Makes a great base for marinating chichen and bbqing it. Tahini is the name for it.

I use black bean paste with garlic sauce in my Chinese Beef Noodle Soup instead of just bean paste and it made the flavors just pop! my whole family asks how to make the broth so rich so I tell them about this sauce. amazing stuff!

Fabulous video, Mike!!! I'm having Chinese fish and asparagus tonight with fermented black beans and hot red chilies. We are lucky to have two Asian stores here - now I know better what to buy!

Dude, saying, not saying, drizzle some hot oil on a hot dog next time you have one. Changed my life.

And on candied bacon. For real.

And a hard boiled egg. Also for real.

You converted me. You did this. I'm whiter than snow on sour cream, and I have a bag full of dried spices on my shelf, black vinegar in my pantry, and fresh homemade hot oil in a bottle next to my cutting board at all times. You own this.

I'd love to see you make an updated version of this video! It'd be fun to see how your choices may have changed. Also, a video of all quick last minute recipes for yourself. I like the fermented tofu and rice one!

[shahram]

Great video. I already have a few of these already. As a middle easterner, I love all things rice as well. And yes, I have fermented black bean sauce. Love it. Yes, I have the hot oil as well.

I watched your video and went out and bought some sauces and so ... Todays throw together is - cut up beer brats, diced mini sweet peppers, one chopped up yellow squash n half an onion, can of those baby corn cob looking things, diced up bamboo, broccoli, some sort of sauce I threw together and let simmerusing orange juice, honey, brown sugar, orange marmalade, baby rays, teriyaki, soy, sweet chili pepper sauce, thickener after it had simmered a good bit (corn starch n water mixed in drizzzled in) and sesame oil, and some top ramen cooked and tossed in with it all. MMMmmm so good. I have no recipe as I just toss things together, but ... I appreciate the inspiration the meal turned out to be exceptionally outstanding. My hubby will be thrilled.

Today I went to the store for four of these sauces plus toasted Japanese sesame oil. Wonderful stuff. Some I have but recently became interested in cooking Chinese dishes and quickly discovered the massive difference the right sauce makes. Found a brand I trust for sauces, made here in Canada, with local and imported ingredients. Found the Japanese toasted sesame oil I use. My grocer thanks you. 😋
