- Growing up in Ireland back in the day Chinese food wasn’t very common and we only had what was mass produced and whatever reached the Ireland, in regard to foreign cuisine. These 3 easy healthy Chinese sauces may have been the first three Ireland got to try. It’s amazing how small the culinary world has gotten in regards to what is readily accessible. I think making your own sauce is still the best way to control the ingredients you eat and how much sugar is in your food.
All the best,
Dave & Steve.

Hi from the US! Love your recipes and will definitely make these. About viscosity :), if you say a sauce is viscous it's implied to be thicker. Higher viscosity = more thick. Less viscous =thinner sauce.
Love that you give alternative ingredients
Delighted to hear thanks 👍🏼😄
Hoisin sauce was amazing! Thank you.
Can’t wait to make all these!!!
All these sauces look amazing, and I wonder how the peanut butter substitution would affect the hoisin sauce's oiliness (is that a word? lol) since peanut butter is pretty fatty... Would be nice if you included text overlay in the video, or a written recipe in the description for those who are more visual learners
Peanut butter and tahini are pretty similar in nutritional value so wouldn't really make a difference! Thanks a mill for watching and sending your feedback! Sending loads of love :)
The black beans used in black bean sauce are actually fermented soybeans
🙌🙌🙌
Black bean sauce is usually just salty, not at all sweet. Also usually got no ginger in it. Won’t it taste weird w/ the ginger & maple syrup? I’m chinese descend and my great grandfather got a chinese restaurant that still operating here in Indonesia. I also need to point out that hoisin sauce never contain any seafood as it is supposed to complement seafood dishes but the store bought ones are loaded w/ all sorts of crazy additives i don’t care for. Btw the secret to chinese restaurants’ sweet sour sauce is ketchup. I use pineapple in mine instead of sugar & go easy on the vinegar.
Wow cool, thanks a mill for your feedback, appreciate it. This is just our variation on popular sauces! Sending loads of love :)
Definitely keepers. I love sauces they make food even more interesting. I have missed Hoisin.
Defo give them a go Jeanne super tasty and Hoisin the fav :)
Teriyaki, please! In the meantime, I’m going to be trying all three. Thank you, Happy Pear 😊
Super stuff thanks
Will do a vid next week
Yum! Can’t wait to get saucy...and please keep your “th” without the “h”. You be you! That’s why we watch 💜
Er I imagine they'll happily continue talking in their Irish accents. It makes sense considering they're Irish. What a weird comment!
I agree - we love them just the way they are!
@@DrDianeDAddie you too! It's a bit patronising. 'We love you the way you are' implies you think there's something not up to standard with the Irish accent.
Can't wait to try theses sauces! 🤩
Let us know how you get on Sabrina :)
I lived in China for 4 years and all of these ingredients are readily available in even my local 7eleven. 我应该手作这三个酱都。我感觉它们都非常好吃。
Nice one must have been super interesting living in China for 4 years 👍🏼😄
Tasty, tasty, very very tasty. They’re very tasty 😋!
Thanks Bev :)
Bev what advert was that from?? Getting 80's flashbacks hahaha
TREE CHINESE SAUCES LET'S GO
Haha never was very good at saying TH 😂😂💚
Excellent stuff. Been wanting a vegan Hoisin sauce recipe. Would love to learn a vegan dipping sauce for soba noodles. Traditionally in Japan they use a fish sauce. Dish is called Zaru Soba. Also a vegan Ramen broth please :D
Cool thanks we’ll shoot a Japanese ponzu sauce vid tomorrow 👍🏼😄
I so appreciate this. For other sauces I'd love to see a vegan General Tso's or a Japanese Curry sauce. I will be trying at least one of these tonight!
Nice will maybe do a Japanese series next week thanks 👍🏼😄💚
The Happy Pear katsu curry pleeeeeease!
Tech Writing I want you
@@thehappypear YEEESSSSSS please
Add arrow root to water in a jar and shake to blend - no clumps!
Nice one thanks
I believe you’ll find it’s pronounced TUM sized :-)
Can’t be doing with all this new fangled THUMB nonsense.
Love the sauces, keep up the amazing and inspirational work boys
Ha ha love it thanks 😂😂💚
Sorry to be a pedant but water doesn't add viscosity it reduces viscosity. (something is described as viscous if it's thick or treacle like). Having said that, I like your videos and enjoy eating your recipes. Keep up the good work.
你好你好！新年快乐！😄😄
Happy New Year!
Love from China ❤️
Sending loads of love to China! Happy New Year :)
So nice. Ill try all of them wow
Super stuff delighted to hear 👍🏼😄

Oh, yeah!! Thanks so much! :)
Delighted to hear thanks Ruthann 👍🏼😄

It's too loud I think:/
I just love you guys, thank you for all your efforts to help make the world a happier, healthier place x
* Sweet and Sour Sauce
Blend until smooth: 100 ml boiled water, 2 tbsp arrow root flour, few tbsp tamari, 100 ml maple syrup, 3 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 2 tbsp tomato puree, 2 cloved peeled garlic, a thumb-size piece of ginger
* Hoisin Sauce

* Black Bean Sauce
1 tin black beans (400g) = 240g drained black beans, 3 cloves of peeled garlic, 1 thumb sized piece ginger, 2.5 tbsp miso, 1 tsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1/2 stock cube veg bouillon, 1 full can full-fat coconut milk
Thank you for sharing,sauce looks yummy,also that meal with the sauce looks delicious,will make it.😋👍🙏🏻👏
I cannot wait to try the black bean sauce!! How long will it last in the fridge for? Do you think it would be okay to freeze?
It will last 5 days and will freeze well too 👍🏼😄
If making it heart healthy one would leave out the oil, why put it in anyway? Does oil clog ones arteries? Is going oil free only a healthy move if you have heart issues? Or is it a healthy move regardless? For you is veganism about being the healthiest you can be? Clearly you are a picture of healthy, so maybe if one starts out at an early age as a whole food vegan, oil is not harmful??? Am a bit confused.
If you have heart disease best to not use oil and as an ideal without oil is healthier but as you are aware food has the ability to nourish our souls and it is more than simply nutrients, our relationship with food is also super important. Oil will add more calories and increase the fat content which in turn will make the food richer and taste better so it’s all a matter of what your priority is 👍🏼😄💚
What is the special Chinese spice that was added to the Hoisin sauce (I think)? I missed that. Is it easy to find? I don't think I've heard of it.
Love the sauce videos but please try to do some without sugar! Thank you!
Yumo 😻
The hoisin is my fav!
I have some fermented black beans - I found and ordered from the local Chinese supermarket safter the lady had confidently said they were here and I said I couldn't find them - and that was because they had run out. I now need to look up how to make the sauce - though your black bean substitute looks interesting.
Thanks John, best of luck :)
Please can easy lunches dinners snacks for breastfeeding mums and pospaturm recovery xxx
Will do thanks
Apples with nut butter, coconut yogurt (I like So Delicious), granola, buy frozen mixed vegetables instead of fresh to cut down on cooking time, chickpeas and other canned beans quick protein additions to any meal. Throw a bag of frozen veg, little oil or veg broth, seasoning, can of whatever beans you like, rice, quinoa, noodles etc you like.
Congrats mama!!
@@sstag83 thanks a million xx
I love hoisin sauce too :)
I think it's the soy sauce in it that gets me!
Looks yummy for sure, but those recipes aren't Chinese at all:)
Their an Irish interpretation 💚😄
Lads the fermented soy beans are completely different to black beans. They are pretty easy to get and have an amazing flavour.
Good on you Declan most supermarkets don’t stock them it’s only in specialist Asian stores generally so we decided to leave them out. If you do have them there so worth using just use less and omit the miso 👍🏼😄💚
@@thehappypear brilliant thanks!
Happy Chinese New Year!😄
Does white miso work just as well?
So 2020 is your Sauce year 😂😂😂
Was needing a good black bean sauce recipe!! Thank you :) :)
Super stuff hope you enjoy thanks
I love how it starts with Ni hao! Always a delight in this kitchen.
What a shirt!
🙌😁
yum, thank you!
and you know we love your version of the th 😁❤
Super stuff thanks Lisa
I love the heart shaped ingredient container and the variety of other small cups :-)
Can't wait to try those - do you have any recipes for sauces like katsu curry?
I just made a bangin' terryaki sauce today with dates to sweeten.. seriously unbelievable. Perhaps the healthiest sweetener you could use - loaded with antioxidants and fiber. I will be trying these sauces but with dates! This is perfect for my current sauce kick. 🙏
Nice one dates are always the best sweetener 👍🏼😄🙌🏼
I used a sauce from a jar for dinner last night and it got the big thumbs down from my daughter. Thanks for sharing these sauce recioes; now I can make them ahead so weeknight meals are quick and easy. Cheers!
Super stuff Lisa thanks a mill 👍🏼😄💚
OH MY.....if these are half as good as your Curry Sauce I will be happy ! Love Sweet & Sour so I'm happy anyway - Thank you again !
Delighted to hear thanks
What kind of miso are you using? I have no idea what to look for in the store.
Also, keep talking in you dialect! :)
Just simple rice based miso but use what ever you can find
If you stir in the flour to the water (just before blending)iy will not clump.
Nice one thanks 👍🏼😄
Thank you so much! The hoisin noodle dish looks delicious. I have the white miso to use up so I’ll try substituting. Your sauce might have made it richer.
Super stuff thanks it should work similar 👍🏼😄
Three lovely sauces - Thank you :) Although I agree with people pointing out that these are not Chinese, Dave did mention that they are his local/Irish interpretation of Chinese. McDonald's in China has its own local interpretation of its fare suited to its target market there and it's not exactly what they serve back West - actual Chinese cuisine would be somewhat difficult to market to Westerners as we'd be unlikely to appreciate much of the same foods typical on menus in China.
Thanks totally agree 👍🏼😄
Nia Garcia This is Steve, lol But yes, he did say at the beginning that these are Western “supermarket/takeaway” style versions, not traditional
YUM I’d go with the Hoisin sauce. Will try them all.
Super stuff thanks 👍🏼😄
Does anyone have the written recipes as I'm out shopping and forgot my list 🤦🏻♀️☹
*let's
🙌🙌🙌
yum, thank you!!
They all look delicious but I will try the hoisen first!
Thanks Anna
Was that a tablespoon of miso in the hoisin sauce? These all look so delicious!
It was indeed thanks the hoisin was my fav but all are delish
I never find good pre-made sauces anyway....sad state of affairs
Give these a go :)
Great recipes but the music was a bit distracting... 😉
Thanks will try leave it out next time 👍🏼😄🙌🏼
@@thehappypear Thank you for that and thank you for the tasty recipes! Love you guys! 😊
Another great video :-)
Thanks so much really appreciate it
Happy to see this!! Cheers
Thanks Mike enjoy 👍🏼😄💚
There is no such letter as 'haitch'. It doesn't exist. You mean 'aitch' which is the letter between 'g' & 'i' in the alphabet. Had to say something as you did keep saying it!
Shut up
