Hi, it's me again from the Salt video a while back. I gave up Soy a while back and started using Braggs Liquid Aminos (Soy Substitute), What do you think? did I make a mistake? I've also purchased Non GMO corn grits from Whole Foods as it seems to me that GMO corn is the worse thing you can put in your body, if you like eating Roundup. When I gave up smoking 21 years ago, my wife and I started watching countless cooking shows, I found myself at the grocer sometimes close to midnight to make some crazy recipe I saw on TV. I really love your videos, I guess being a home taught chef makes one curious. She started the whole 30 diet a year ago so I quit making fancy dishes for one. I really miss the crazy nights in the kitchen making lots of recipes. So keep up the good work, I subbed at the Salt video.

Hello today I want to make tteobokki. Which soy sauce would be good for tteobokki please reply

[@AwareHouseChef]

I've never made that dish. But from what I understand, the soy sauce that is added to it is not the most significant ingredient. I believe the Korean fish stock is the most important ingredient. I don't know what recipe you have but if it calls for soy sauce I would choose any one of the three that I rated as best. And I believe you will do well. All the best!

[@cynthiawhite4875]

Great video, Chef! I feel like tasting soy sauces now. If I may be the devil's advocate here for a second, phytic acid does have some good attributes, too. For example, it's an antioxidant all by itself. Also, remember that some of the longest lived people in the world live in Japan, in Okinawa. I imagine they are eating a lot of soy sauce. In fairness, I avoid soy myself for the hormone question, but I doubt a little soy sauce now and then is something terrible. I don't eat it often, but when I do, I make sure it runs down my chin and all over my clothes. These taste test videos are great. How about one on different kinds of dessert sauces or chocolate sauces?

I agree a little soy sauce is fine . Everything in moderation. I enjoyed the aged soy sauces the most to this day. Cheers!

Squid Brand Fish Sauce (Nam Pla) is Thai fish sauce made from fermented anchovies. If you like umami, this is my favorite. It smells very pungent and rather bad, but in cooking it is wonderful. Tomato based pasta sauces are elevated with Nam Pla. I do believe the Romans used fermented fish sauce a lot in their cuisine. I would never be without Nam Pla. It is a salt and Umami combined

Hi, very interesting but many of us put the Sodium content as the most important. I recently bought a wok and have been trying some stir-frys. I am 74 and and on blood pressure medication. I would not want the percent of daily value of sodium go over 50%. Many of the Soy sauces have very high daily value of sodium content per 1 Tbsp (over 40% per Tbsp). Not many people would use just 1 Tbsp of a sauce they like. I would bet you went over 50% of the daily value of sodium in your taste test. * Where as the sauces I have used for years are not real high. -- Mayonnaise (Sodium in 1 Tbsp = 3% DV), -- Yellow Mustard (Sodium in 1 Tbsp = 3% DV), -- Ketchup (Sodium in 1 Tbsp = 7% DV), -- Chick-fil-A Sauce (Sodium in 1 Tbsp = 4% DV), * The Walmart Best Value less sodium Soy sauce has a daily value of sodium of 25% in 1 Tbsp . * Even McDonalds regular sized fries have only 8% of the daily value of sodium!

I think that's the worst part about all clad. So if something physically goes wrong with it, say a rivet is loose or the edge of the pan delaminates things that are mechanical for example. It is covered for lifetime. But if the pan discolors or scratches more than it should under regular use, things like that are not covered. Costco has an amazing return policy. If two years from now you decide that you don't like the way the pan works you just walk into the store return it no questions asked. I can't stress enough that we should be careful not to abuse such a generous return policy. Hope that cleans things up! All the best!

one thing that i've learned on my journey to better health is that plants aren't inherently healthy just because they're plants. just as animals have claws teeth and horns, and although cacti have spikes, most plants take the chemical route. almonds have cyanide, rice has arsenic, grain has gluten. i mean, eggplants, tomatoes and peppers are part of the "nightshade" family which is a highly toxic plant. sure, they're not as toxic, but they still have their own defenses to keep in mind. you need to respect all foods you eat as they come from life and most living things don't want to be eaten.

That cut straight to the point! Great introduction, very educative! I do not know how the products are in the states, european myself, but personally I do think that the GMO produce has a bigger impact on the world as we know it rather than how our body digests them. Unfair use of the GMO technology has impact worldwide on: economy, society but also it's ethical and climate issues are not to be underestimated as sadly most large GMO pattent's are used to compete against smaller farms and producers. I do think in that sense it is absolutely a good thing to buy local to support businesses that do care about responsible farming! From memory so perhaps not entirely accurate but for Legumes, I thought soaking the dried product and then cooking them should take care of most of the lecithine that can perhaps cause Iron defficiency, also sprouting and fermentation processes should break that down (Lecithine being a form of natural pesticide system the legumes evolved to protect themselves against pests in nature). As for the soy estrogen, it should be different enough from human estrogen hormone that it should not affect our hormonal system, the concentration is rather low to begin with and on top of that our digestive tracks break them down so much that by the time your intestants do absorb what is left of it it no longer resembles estrogen. Legumes are a beautiful powerfood that has the potential to replace animal proteins in our diets, even for non vegetariers they have many essential nutrients that are very benefitial for humans to consume. I hope this comment is helpful!

Thank you! It does. GMO is more of a concern for me than the estrogen levels in soy. I still avoid it though. I have become very content with coconut aminos as a substitute for soy sauce. All the best and thank you for reaching out!

[@zack_120]

Informative extensive taste tests 👍 but personal preference is the ultimate factor. 1) after being used to them there will be no difference anymore; 2) when used on/in different food matrices the taste changes too; 3) price, as a index of cost and perhaps the greediness of the manufacturer/seller, has no bearing on taste or even quality in the absence of chemical analysis data. So, only the nutritional and safety data, eg. vitamins, minerals, amino acids, acids,... are the key info in judging a soy sauce.

Tamari is better to cook with. Mixed soy sauces 'flash off' their flavor under high heat, so anything with a significant amount of wheat content shouldn't be cooked for very long, if at all.

A good example of “GMO” would be two healthy, strong and tall human beings having a child. I do agree %100 of this. Also, “organic “ simply means that for the last 60-90 days of the plant lifecycle was without pesticides. Just fyi. I have been in the agriculture and aquaculture industry for as long as you have been a chef, Globally at this. If you want to go completely gmo and cmo free, I recommend you stop eating all together.

I can’t wait for all foods there. Rice, best rice you should try while you there. The rice from north Niigata rice also great, where they have beautiful Koi fish breeder there as well. Beautiful country and ever so clean and convenience. Worth getting Japan Rail Way Pass before you go there. Catch bullet train as many time as you want. North to south it’s quite big country, bigger than UK, people miss Cherry blossom pick nick this spring too over there, they were taping no enter sign at the Tokyo Ueno park on news. 🌸🌸🌸 Hope worlds become peace soonest.

Traditional soy sauce is mostly used for lo-mei food in China. Modern soy sauce is divided into flavored and traditional soy sauce. Flavored soy sauce has more flavor and softer flavor. Of course, traditional soy sauce with other natural seasonings can also increase the flavor and have a lighter and softer flavor. . In addition, the more expensive soy sauce is not necessarily better, you can refer to the wiki to introduce the necessary basic materials of traditional soy sauce, and then look at the soy sauce ingredient list you purchased, others are described as the youtuber said

[@randomstuffman01]

Good video. But, I'm in Toronto, Canada, white guy. I use Lee Kum Kee Organic Soy Sauce. I pay $5.00(CAN) for 500 ml (17 oz). I'm paying 30 cents (23 cents USD) per fluid ounce. You gave your price as 82 (USD) cents per ounce !!! What's up with that ?

[@AwareHouseChef]

That’s what it was on Amazon at the time

[@randomstuffman01]

Amazon can be pricey. I can buy LKK Organic Soy Sauce, and lots of other soy sauces, in local stores. Toronto has lots of Asian food stores; Chinese, Korean, a few Japanese, others. Good channel you have.

If you finish it within a week or two you should be OK. But good soy sauce spoils. Cheers!

[@TahoeJones]

I don't think you get the salt preservative concept. I've never refrigerated soy sauce. Zero issues. GMO is simply accelerated selective breeding.

[@AwareHouseChef]

What soy sauce do you use?

[@jquery2774]

Lee Kum Kee is my fav so far. Very flavourful and you don't need very much at all. At all; a very little will get you good flavour and no chemical after taste. Don't know much about it but it adds a little and it will improve whatever you are eating. Especially if you are a bachelor. You won't need any salt as it will be provided. Just a little is plenty. I refuse to comment about this further 'cuz I really don't want to get any feminist psychologists involved here. Life is hard enough without them. If you do, you are going to be delegated right down a Blonde rabbit hole. You might as well take modern medicine and wish for good health.

We used to live in the Milky Way until fems came to our planet and we had to retreat to the next available galaxy. Relief is only a few billion light years away if they come here - luckily blondes aren't that good at math so their ship may end up on the other side of the universe anyway, but they are good at pumping -out dos-like bitch files..

[@stevenpetro4766]

Funny the links provided referring to phytic acid and estrogen contradict the warnings this youtuber makes. Nearly no one should be concerned about eating soy. All the popular fears are unfounded. I think this youtuber should stick to taste and leave nutrition to more qualified individuals.

Just want to let you know that soy sauce was invented in China, not Japan

[@AwareHouseChef]

Sort of. Jian was invented in China. It was a thick paste , usually containing some meat in it as well that eventually became soy sauce. However traditional soy sauce as we consume it today was perfected in Japan. But it’s like any cultural food. Take falafel or hummus for instance. The Middle East has argued for decades where it was first invented. I could be wrong and I don’t mind being wrong because that is how I learn but my research led me to this conclusion. All the best

[@leefy722]

@@AwareHouseChef I'm not surprised that it got perfected in Japan. In fact, Japan had sent ppl to China to learn various thing and brought it back to Japan and then made it better.

soy beans are great if it's fermented (natto is excellent ! ). ......and, birthplace of soy sauce is china , not japan !

Hey thanks for reaching out. I think you might be mistaken. All research points to soy sauce originating in Japan. Also, not all soy beans are equal. Fermented soy beans are definitely better for you in smaller quantities.
