I might have missed it, but I didn’t see Korean soy sauces mentioned at all. By trial and error, I learned that all of these soy sauces are so different, and you really want to use the right one depending on what dish you are making.
Me over here in rural Arkansas like “okay I just have to find a Japanese market...”
😂😂
I live in Bentonville.... Did you happen to find one?
@@redvaria6366 I’m in north central we had an Asian market but I think it closed because I couldn’t find it
😂 good luck with that. I used to go to Korean market in Kansas, they had Japanese, Caribbean and Indian isles maybe you have something like that out there?
Wilson’s in Texarkana Texas
People used look at me like a crazy person when I kept saying that the soy sauce packets from the Chinese restaurants taste different than the packets that came from Japanese or sushi restaurants. SEE?!! I ain't nuts!!
A fly on your head
A lot of times the packets at Chinese restaurants or in school lunches don’t even have any soy in them! Just water, salt, caramel color, and preservatives. I don’t understand how it can be labeled as soy sauce.
1/2 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Mirin sweetened sake
1 cup water
1 small slice of ginger root
1 clove of garlic
Boil on high heat for 5 minutes.
Remove garlic and ginger.
Eat it with EVERYTHING.
This is teriyaki
Love it
what is delicious soy sauce for sushi?
@@aimixue You beat me to it. All teriyaki sauce are not the same. I tried to get a good recipe from makers of good teriyaki, but they all can't or refuse to divulge there secret. A little of this and a little of that and you do it all by taste.
@@arjaynovillos7826 I like Yamaha, brewed in Chiba, Japan.
The much awaited soy sauce video!!! I remember commenting on your "9 asian sauces you must have" or something like that and you guys said you were gonna do this and I'm glad you guys actually made it and don't forget your "promises". This was really useful now I can amaze my mum and sisters :p Thanks guys!!
the indonesian sweet sauce, you can use it as a dip or a condiment as well. cook some omelette or sunny side up eggs, and pour the kecap on rice, HEAVEN
kecap manis indonesia gang
@@SkylorKatiman #timkecapbango
@Tjhin Matthew bango is best, even more than abc
@Matthew sama, palingan cum dipake buat bikin nasgor doang.
This guy: this is 10 different type of soy sauce.
Me as Indonesian: that was 1 soy sweet sauce (kecap manis) and 9 soy salty sauce (kecap asin)..
Lol so true!
Chinese dark soy sauce also is a little sweet.
This helps a lot guys thanks.
Informative and straight to the point. Thumbs up!
I have needed this video for a long time. Thanks so much! :))
Don't know if it's authentic or not, but I like Kikkoman soy sauce.
It's naturally brewed so it's fine.
KroMcLovinFaSho Yes it's an authentic Japanese soy sauce.
That's authentic. No-frills authentic.
KroMcLovinFaSho my mom's favorite
Sameeee
This was a great and informative video! Thanks for sharing.
This was super helpful. Thank you!
Kecap manis = Sweet thick soysauce. pronounced keTCHap. Good for cooking and as a dipping sauce. You should try the brand Bango. It's the best!
Kecap asin = Salty thick soysauce, good for cooking.
Just watched this video, very informative. Thanks guys.
Very interesting video. I usually use the light Chinese soy sauce with wasabi when I eat sushi at home. Soy sauce with rice rolls (腸粉) are delicious!!
There is also another Japanese soy sauce that is flavored with dashi. It is used for dipping cold buckwheat noodles.
Awesome, thanks! I'm so glad I found this video.. the info was too fast though (way).. I think I'll have to watch it a dozen more times to try and catch it all.. lol. But thanks sooo much for sharing, guys!
Nice video guys!!! This vid helped me a lot!
Thanks, really informative!
Brilliant. I cook Asian cuisines often and love this information.
Thanks for sharing, I've learned alot.🤚
So informative! Excellent!
You guys are awesome, thank you for sharing!! Asian cooking is my #1 fave! I usually use Kikkoman, when I run out of the Japanese soy sauce. I have a CHina Grocery down the street from me, so convenient!! :D
U guys rock. Informative and entertaining.
So helpful! Thanks a lot!!
Awesome Video! Thanks 😊
This is a fantastic vid!
Thank you so much for this video. The only soy sauces that i was familiar with was Kikkoman brand, La Choy and of course the packets at the chinese restaurants. When i'm finished with my giant bottles of these soy sauces i will seek out the ones that you suggested.
You guys NEED to do an episode on fish sauces too!
.Indonesian "kecap" is actually pronounced like "ketchup". In fact, that's where the word "ketchup" comes from, actually.
Bruh wtf ketchup is from chinese/european origin
@@mythydamashii9978 lol agree. As an indonesian, our language comes from other language. Not the other way around
Interesting and informative video. I'll be exploring use of the Japanese dark. I will halt my use of the two you showed that are chemically processed. I was using the K brand, low sodium. Now I know which 1 to use and will use less to offset my sodium concern, in order to get a better tasting dish. Thanks guys!
Thank you so much for the video this was totally awesome it opened my eyes to so much. I think I like a Chinese soy sauce but I'm going to definitely go out and try to get the Japanese soy sauce so I can have the experience
whelp totally learned something new. THXX MIKE & DAN
MizzMyst3rious thanks for watching!
Damn I just discovered this channel and I am on a channel marathon now, damn you guys, I have to wake up early in the morning XD
Thank you so much for enlightening us all. I'll be checking out the Asian stores we have, cause now I know what to look for
Chinese soy sauce is more complicated than just dark and light. There are 頭抽, 雙璜頭抽, 二抽, 三抽, 煲仔反醬油, 甜豉油, 蒸魚豉油...
Hear, hear it always seems like Chinese have a limited view on themselves and many times ignore that different region, different company has different recipes each with different processes like Tea, Wine or Beer. The Japanese 'have many variety' is just pretty much different companies selling their soy sauces with minute differences similar to marketing soft drinks: Pepsi Light, Diet Coke, Pepsi Lemon. Which reminds me, there was a Japanese show where a man from Tianjin went to Japan to try Chinese food and later said that wasn't Chinese food (=_=|||) it turns out the food they were serving was Southern Chinese style, Cantonese to be exact.
Mind blown! Thank you!
the way to pronounce kecap is like how u pronounce ketchup lol when i was a child i kept on thinking that soy sauce (kecap) = ketchup bc of the pronounciation
thank you so so so much for these important information..
Thanks for the information.
You guys are good and funny, many thanks.
I grew up with Kikkoman soy sauce. I changed to Aloha soy sauce. I’ve also bought the low sodium one. I’m changing to Tamari for the low to no wheat factor. Great video. Mahalo!!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
About time! Great video!
Modern Chinese Speaker thanks for watching :-)
Off the Great Wall What about Thai soy? or Ponzu?
Thanks for the soy sauce education. I just bought a wok and was checking into what soy sauces I should be using. I'll go with Japanese if I can find the right ones. Thanks again.
Dope guys lot of information
This is most helpful. I started researching soy sauces and I'm not in a straight jacket yet but its a matter of time. I live in Boston so I will try Chinatown markets but not sure if we have many Japanese markets.
Great video. I had no idea there were so many different types and their different uses. (I'm sorry. I always just bought Kikkoman.)
I've been all over Europe and it's always Kikkoman out here, in the traditional glass bottle.
I did not know that Kecap Manis is so famous, until I watched this 😃
I love kecap manis for my food (cooking or dipping).
Kecap ~> K-Chup, say it like that, Dan. 😊
Keechap manis i have been looking for the name of that sweet sauce forEVER I could only remember it as a dark soy sauce but it is completely different!!
yes finally
i was waiting on this vid soo long
(i'm addicted to soy sauce...)
Crimson Knight nice! there are worse things to be addicted to
Off the Great Wall Thank you for posting this video. I've had Kecap Manis and a few of the other ones as well, and look forward to trying some of the other ones.
Off the Great Wall Woo
SJ Lizard Natural brewed soy sauce >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> those little packets. I can drink natural brew, but those little packets are too salty and have no flavor.
I have only tasted the Japanese soy sauces but only the dark and the light. I much prefer the Japanese dark soy sauce but I didn't even know that some of these existed, definitely staying away from the soy sauce sachets.. Thanks so much :3
Awsome info
Just found this channel, cool channel bros
2:20 YES! KECAP MANIS. That's what I am looking for!
buy bango it´s expensive but th best
Upload lagi bang
@@deeramini1892 wow, in indonesia it's pretty cheap in here
Still funny how he pronounced Kicap manis
And we have those in Malaysia too
I got Kecap as one of the sauces for my ramen noodles, very tasty and sweet. Highly recommend.
Immensely enlightening!
I love Wan Ja Shan aged soy sauce. I haven't tried any of the Japanese made ones yet but will in the future. To get an idea of the flavour of Kecap Manis you can add molasses to regular soy sauce till it's very sweet.
Ah, La Choy, the Twinkies of soy sauce. The only kind I had as a kid. The first time I had Kikkoman my mind was blown.
Many thanks ! I have really enjoyed this video, while I am much older than you guys.
thank you!
Learned so much ~ THANKS! I'm saving & sharing this like a (soy) dictionary!
Here in Hawaii, we love Aloha Shoyu. When my kids went off to college, I had to send them with their own bottle...
I'm here in Texas and love Soy Sauce in my cooking. This is all good info. Thanks!!
I'm really into Ponzu. It adds a hint of citrus, which is never a bad thing, and it's lower in sodium.
thanks. now i know what i need.
I'm trying to learn about soy sauce and this video is so informative. I have a low sodium soy sauce and I got worried when you said this usua;;y means that it's a lot of chemichals. But after checking the ingredients, it is good. It's Trader Joe's Soy Sauce
Hi guys can you do a part 2 on soy sauce, i would like to know more about the korean, thai, vietnames, and wich foods its good to cook with. Im gonna dig my self in asian foods and recipes. Thx i really like your channel....
Parents were from Hoisan and don't remember them using soy sauce to cook food at home. To flavor the dishes mom used shrimp paste that we call homma and or fu ngui fermented bean paste.
I'm super late watching this but I'm glad to have found this. If anyone reads this I was at a Korean market today and I just bought some soba noodles and "soba" suace. Is there really a sauce for soba noodles? If there isn't what would you suggest? BTW this Korean market has a lot of Japanese and Korean products. So I let the lady at the store help me because I don't know what I'm looking for.
Didn't know about chemical soy sauces :\ thanks for all the info!
Is there a video when you talk about how to store it?
The taste of soy sauce coming out of China mainland started to change in the late 90s. Here in the UK, we used to use Chinese soy sauce as it was more common than Filipino soy sauce. When we started to detect the changing quality and characteristics, we stopped buying them.
It may well have been a shift in recipes but the food scandals and adulteration stories leaking out of HK in to Asia after '97 made us weary of Mainland food products and paranoid that the flavour change was cynical...
guys, thank you for including our (Indonesian) soy sauce! I love your videos. :)
Ain Syahril thanks for watching :-)
woohooo i love indonesian sweet soy sauce!!!! perfect for everything, stew, fried rice, fried noodles etc
Halo mba Lin! Semoga sehat dan ceria selalu!
Fransisca Jelena Gandasasmita yes I couldn’t find Indonesian sweet spy sauce in Philliphines so I use Kikkoman Sou Sauce
Yes,it is my favorite

This was so helpful! There is a very specific soy sauce I like from a restaurant in Chinatown called Shu Jiao Fu Zhou, and I’ve been buying directly from them. But now with lockdown... I have to figure out what the hell they are using! I’m going to assume it is maybe that Shrimp Soy Sauce you mentioned!?
Pearl river bridge, light soy sauce is definitely the best there is, and can be used for everything.
Yep. Kikkoman > La Choi
One is brewed, the other is not. I didn't know the difference, but I could certainly taste it.
The abc sweet soy sauce is so good. I like to mix it with chili sauce to dip anything that needs to have a dipping sauce. When I have hainanese chicken rice, I like to mix sweet soy sauce with the chili sauce and pour it over the whole thing.
Did you know there is a soy sauce alternative, called Liquid Aminos, made by BRAGG?
It's gluten free, has no preservatives, is Non-GMO certified, and kosher. On the bottle It says "It has 16 essential and non-essential amino acids in in natural occurring amounts from liquid Non-GMO soy protein only." It also lists them all. There is no ADDED salt, only that which occurs naturally. The ingredients are listed as "vegetable protein from soybeans and purified water.
You forgot to mention Sashimi Soy Sauce! That's a Japanese soy sauce specially made for sashimi. Which includes little mirin and some kind of dashi stock usually kombu dashi to enhance the sashimi flavor to max.
+Ken Asaoka Ｔｈｅｒｅ ａｌｓｏ ｓｏｙ ｓａｕｃｅ ｃａｌｌｅｄ Ｏｙｓｔｅｒ Ｓｏｙ Ｓａｕｃｅ.
That's simply a soy sauce with oyster extract in it. Slightly sweet.
+Ken Asaoka There's also Nama Shouyu (Cold Pressed Soy Sauce)
Thanks for the video and the info. I know realize that essentially 99.9% of what's on the shelf at a typical big chain supermarket in the US is nothing but chemicals. Sadly, I've been consuming these for many years (including those handfuls of packets that come with take out) so probably too late for me :-)
This makes PERFECT sense! Finally!
When I went to Hong Kong I even got dizzy out of frustration when I hit the grocery stores! Terrible! I was lost and confused in Eastern Asia... This poor Puerto Rican. :'<
Now I understand that there IS such a thing of DIFFERENT soy sauces (different colors, flavors and purposes). Phew. Thank you SO much for this video! Now you should make about other saues and their varieties. Haha!
Fun thing Kecap Manis is the reason that Ketchup is called ketchup, weird things some dudes told me.
Well, kecap and ketchup spelled EXACTLY the same.
The word ketchup is Chinese dialect origin.
@@cstan8295 but ketchup in chinese not called ketchup but "ketsiap"... Westeners get the words "ketchup" is from Indonesian words "kecap", ketchup and kecap have exactly same spelled
@@fransreynaldi5770 Pickled fish and spicesEdit
In the 17th century, the Chinese mixed pickled fish and spices and called it (in the Amoy dialect) kôe-chiap or kê-chiap (鮭汁, Mandarin Chinese guī zhī, Cantonese gwai1 zap1) meaning the brine of pickled fish (鮭, salmon; 汁, juice) or shellfish.[7][8] By the early 18th century, the table sauce had arrived in the Malay states (present day Malaysia and Singapore), where English colonists first tasted it. The Malaysian-Malay word for the sauce was kicap or kecap (pronounced [kɛt͡ʃap]). That word evolved into the English word "ketchup".[9] English settlers took ketchup with them to the American colonies.[1]
The term Catchup was used in 1690 in the Dictionary of the Canting Crew[10] which was well acclaimed in North America.[11] The spelling "catchup" may have also been used in the past.[12]
The word kecap comes from mandrin, the word ketchup comes from cantonese which literally means tomato sauce direct translated.
Ahhh! I knew "La Choy" was bad for you! xD It tasted strange when I tried it...This video was video was very informative! Thanks! :)
Great, what about mushroom soy? My favorite would be the shio type sauce. Thanks guys
This was a great video. Really, explains why I always thought the La Choy brand of soy sauce was crap. I always thought I didn't like the taste of Chinese soy sauce compared to Japanese. Now, I am curious to try a better brand of it.
great video to explain the difference of soy sauces
I like Malaysia-Chinese Horse and Arrow brand light soy sauce.
And also shrimps fan brand dark sweet soy sauces.
mikey! i saw you get on the E train this morning! i couldnt say hi because i was getting on the f
MrWthisthis100 oh cool haha yea morning rush crazy
Very informative video, maybe can explain more by giving out example of foods that you like to dip/cook with these soy sauce. In my mom's kitchen she has like 4 different soy sauce, thick dark soy sauce, then the runny dark soy sauce, light salty soy sauce and thick sweet soy sauce. :p usually the thick ones is cooking ayam masak kicap, daging kicap or for marinating lamb or beef or cow lungs :d yummy the light one usually for dipping or eat with half boiled egg, the light soy sauce plus the dark one can make awesome chicken rice sauce...hungry thinking about it now
Did you check out the coconut soya sauce substitute - Organika Coconut Sauce-Certified Organic, 250 ml ? It's; Gluten free, non-GMO, soy free, and importantly MSG free compared to other sauces, better for overall health
Great cooking alternative that promotes healthy fatty acid intake for better heart and cardiovascular health Versatile product can be used for cooking, dressing, etc
Can't wait to try it.
My favorite by far for simply topping is Silver Swan. Hard as heck to get but but we love the depth of flavor. It is Filapeno. I've also tried and liked Blue Dragon and Wan Ja Shan. Will never use Kikoman or La Choy. Nothing but salt water.
Guys, Suzhou is not a province, it is a city in Jiangsu province, in the north of Shanghai.
I really liked it.
@2:25 "Start anise" hahahaha
I want to try Nama Shoyu, it's a raw soy sauce :)
for light or dark soy I will buy the Pearl River brand by the gallon. It is ounce for ounce less expensive than a table sized bottle, which I will just refill from the jug.
you can get some awesome micro brewed soy from Japan that can run $12 for a small bottle.
wow i was planning to buy la choy cuz i heard it has a good taste but no no now..thank you :)
Thanks,,guys,,
I like the soy sauce with the least amount of salt/sodium and it is a MUST with my Chinese food! I usually get the Kikkoman and La Choy!
Kikkoman led sodium soy sauce for me.
