Gosh, I love coupons. I was able to get this for $1.50 a bottle with a $1/one coupon. I love stir fry, I love spicy stuff, so I figured "why not?"

Only 25 calories per tablespoon, and this sauce packs a punch. I'm sad I need to wait until tomorrow to eat my stir fry (I meal prepped for tomorrow afternoon). Can't wait to go buy at least 3-4 more bottles tomorrow with the rest of my coupons...pretty sure this bottle will only last me less than a week after I'm done with it.

    Ha! I just bought some of this last week. I'm "clueless" with Asian seasonings (even though I was married to a Korean for a long time, I never learned much Korean cooking skills, lol), and this brand is my favorite. The Korean Teriyaki and Korean BBQ is very good, too.

    I'll have to look around at stores to see what we have like this.. I just use soy sauce usually!

    I personally dig:
    - Grind garlic, ginger
    - Salt, Pepper
    - Soy Sauce
    - Touch of hoisin

    Little bit of oil to lube the works. Done.

    I make my own
    1 tsp brown sugar
    1 tsp corn starch
    mix then add:
    1 T seasoned rice vinegar
    1 T cold water
    1 T soy sauce
    fresh ground ginger
    1 T minced garlic
    red pepper flakes
    mix well, toss in the last 2 minutes of stir fry
    53 calories for the whole recipe, it makes enough for 8 cups vegetables plus 8 oz protein, so I split the stir fry into 2 servings

    Not sure; I have seen it at my two local grocery stores so far. You can always call ahead to ask!

    Depends on what your cooking, but I always make my own sauces based on the ingredients and cooking region. Looks like your looking for premade. Anyway, I like to dry rub with a pulverized combo of garlic, ginger, fermented black beans and green onion then add soy sauce, mirim or dry sherry, a touch of sugar and stock, then a slurry of cornstarch.....good on seafood or chicken.

    This is what I do usually:

    3 garlic cloves sauted (i just add them to the pan while I'm cooking the meat)

    1/2 tsp ginger
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/4 soy sauce
    Crushed red pepper
    Bring to a good boil
    Thicken it up with some corn starch mixed with chicken broth


    Delicious and easy

    Yep; as much as I love homemade whenever possible, there's some things I like to buy in a bottle. I do make a mean marinade for steak based off of a favorite Cambodian recipe of mine! Uses 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp ketchup, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, the juice of an entire fresh lime, garlic powder, a tiny sprinkling of table sugar, and crushed red pepper.

    It'll blow your socks off. I'm going to be trying it with chicken too.

    This reminds me that I need to buy a micro plane...
