Speak about Chinese ingredients, I can talk for days --- seasonings, spices, fermented products, dried ingredients, fresh ingredients... Just look at what I have on hand. Honestly, I got lost when I started to make this video. So, today, I’m going to focus on 6 sauces (Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Chinese Black Vinegar, Chinese Cooking Wine, Hoisin Sauce, Sichuan Dou Ban Jiang) you’ll definitely need for most of my Chinese recipes. All the other stuff, we will talk about another day.

As a retired psychologist, after 40 years of practice, I’d like to recommend daily viewings of Souped Up Recipes for mild depression, having the blahs or the blues, or as a way of relaxing. I always get a lift from whatever video I watch because the hostess is so delightful, funny, smart & actually makes me want to cook again, even if it’s just for me. I have sent my daughters & all my friends & their friends a video along w/ a recommendation to just watch it & enjoy. I certainly w/ the person who wrote in their commentary that they wished she were their neighbor & would mow her lawn, wash her windows, etc. I really like reading other viewers’ comments as well as watching the videos. Thanks so much!
Ha! That's funny, that that is exactly what I'm doing: my Depressive Disorder is kicking in, & rearing its ugly head, so I'm tossed in bed, eating grapes, & drinking vodka: whipped cream Burnett's, at noon, on a Sunday. & watching all the choice Asian sauces I should go get, someday.. That's beautiful you're a psychologist. I'm just another Latino waiter in South Texas, who got laid off because of this terrible virus. haha! ❤️

HAHAHAHA I agree, she’s wonderful but wouldn’t want her living next door lol unless she was going to cook for me daily lol
cooking is good therapy!
I looked at the list of ingredients from a previous video of hers to cook., and it was a monster list that I felt tired, old, and depressed looking at the list of ingredients. Also, I no longer have the ambition to cook. Could be the weather, or my meds....
I’m proud to say, after making many of your recipes these last 6 months I already have all 6 of your recommended sauces PLUS sesame oil, shrimp paste, various rice wine and vinegars, shao xing wine, mushroom flavored soy sauce (the absolute secret ingredient to great lo mein), mapo sauce, Chinese 5 spice, Korean chili powder, hot chili oil, black bean paste, and squid ink. You’ve definitely amped up my Asian cooking capabilities.
That mushroom soy sauce - there's just NO better thing 🤤🤤!
Shrimp paste smells like poop. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then yep, it's poop. My daughter said, dad, throw it out. I did.
Hey, I know this is a while ago but what exactly were the six recipes you cooked and how did they turn out?
Thank you so much for your comment! Reading it remind me of a few things that I don't have like shrimp paste! Is one of those things that I think of at random but cannot recall the remember when I'm actually in the store in the store, lol. Thank you so much!
@@redtobertshateshandles that's your own stupidity to blame right there.
I have seen a lot of Chinese cooking videos, and I must say this was one of the best explanations of ingredients and their differences and uses I have ever seen. Precise, to the point and a detailed reasoning behind every recommendation. There are not enough thumbs up to say how much I enjoyed this video.
Mandy has volumes of knowledge and shares her "know-how" generously with her Viewers. She is truly a great teacher with patience to explain "the why and how" in preparing each of her delicious recipes. 💜
You are such a nice, honest, knowledgeable and competent person! Your enthusiasm and sheer joy, expressed with your every molecule, clearly enthrall your audience. I love to watch you cook, and I've learned so much!!! Thank you so very much.
Thanks to your videos I am now preparing Chinese cuisine for my family. Your presentation is thorough, charming, and sincere. You are a good teacher and we appreciate all the work you put into each video. Thanks! Let us know if you ever decide to publish a cookbook. I would buy it in a minute.
ruclips.net/channel/UCZVmFDfn5WnixrHNf25MeJQ
Second the cookbook suggestion! Count me in for one.
Me too! I've made like 10 of her recipes in the last two or three weeks, and I now have a pantry full of noodles, corn starch, egg roll wrappers, oyster sauce, and black vinegar.
Her Pepper Steak is so delicious.
Her scallion pancakes are delicious too!!
I ordered the wok and now I know I ordered the correct ingredients. I cannot thank you enough for helping me to learn to cook a new way and to make wonderful food. You are the most organized person I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Your channel is wonderful!
I appreciate your clear and thorough explanations as well as usage examples and what to look for in a quality product. So often, many other cooking channels will rattle off a bunch of "necessary" items for your Chinese pantry without specific examples as to WHY and WHERE they might be most used. This can save novice Chinese cooks money as well as assisting in creating more delicious and authentic tasting dishes. Thank you, Mandy!
What a great video! It's very hard to find someone that can properly translate the art and nuances of Chinese cuisine into the English language. I find your videos are truly the best! Thank you so much for making your channel.
1. Soy sauce ( dark n light )
2. Oyster sauce
3. Rice wine
4. Chinese black vinegar
5. Chili beans paste ( dou ban
Jiang )
6. Hoisin sauce
Thank you❤️
@@holycow92883 There you go! 😀
Wow, been cooking for years and learned more here than most other RUclips channels. Thanks.
No more wandering aimlessly around the Asian market. Thank you so much for this video!
LOL that's exactly how I feel when I walk in there. Looking at all those sauces and be overwhelm by the choices. Now I can shop with more confidence.
With these 6 sauces (and basic ingredients you have in your kitchen), you should be able to cook most of my Chinese recipes on my channel. Here are some recipes that I recommend you to try out first:

Real thanks mandy
YOU ARE SO WONDERFUL!
Souped Up Recipes When you say umami are you saying that OOH MOMMY saying that so many RUclips cooks say when something tastes good or is that a word I've misspelled?
Angela Joseph umami is a word rooted from Japanese. It’s a savory taste. It’s one of the five basic tastes (together with sweetness, sourness, bitterness, and saltiness). I believe it is 鲜 (xian) in Chinese. Actually, MSG has a very umami taste.
You can substitute the Houson sauce by using regular BBQ sauce, little bit of sweet and sour sauce and a tiny bit of soy sauce. That's what we do when we run out,,,because hoison sauce is basically Chinese BBQ sauce.
You brighten my kitchen, make me smile...and make my day better.
What a great video. My hasband and I love Chinese food, but we cant go to restaurants anymore because of his gluten allergy. I am a vegetarian too. I want to learn how to make Chinese food at home so we can keep enjoying it. I appreciate substitution ideas without judgement and such clear explanations for what each product adds to a recipe.
You never fail to impress me with your ability to be engaging, informative, & entertaining! I 💘 my wok I purchased from you! NO ONE is allowed to touch it but me! 😉 My friends & family love it when I make your recipes. Recently, while out with friends, they wanted to go to a nice Chinese restaurant. We ordered our food and started eating egg drop soup. Everyone stopped after the first bite, looked at me, & said "Your egg drop soup is so much better tasting & silkier!!" 😃💝 Egg Drop Soup was the first recipe I learned from you!! Thankyou so much for all your hard work and beautiful personality!
Incredibly detailed information here! An absolute goldmine!
You make me want to cook again. I’m going to go through my cupboards and create a Chinese ingredients section. You’re now my daily must watch. Thank you.
Finally how refreshing to find someone to not only explain each sauce and how it’s made but how to STORE it. I found a Chinese market right near my house and it was like Christmas 🎄, I bought all the things here by label so inexpensive too I spent 12 dollars on huge bottles of soy , oyster and cooking wine. Can you do a video on types of noodles in a Chinese market and what to use them for? I found so many types of noodles there .
This is so informative! My mum would tell me some stuff but not well. I love that you explain the reasons why one is better than the other, tying it to the artisan/natural production process. It explains that like everything, Chinese products are not homogenous and low quality - there are lower and higher quality versions of things depending on what people can afford. Just like European ingredients have a range. Thank you!
This video is the BEST video I have seen in a while. Love the extent of detail in this video. Kudos!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
so useful during a lock-down .... when I can only buy groceries and all restaurants are shut down....
Try Chinese Cooking Demystified. They're one of the best.ruclips.net/channel/UC54SLBnD5k5U3Q6N__UjbAw
I totally agree with you
I agree
It is good to know what goes in my chinese food. Thank you for the info. Very informative. You are the first one I have watched that made this thorough explanation of these wonderful but almost strange ingredients that taste good but most of us are not familiar with. Kudos, good job!
Thank you I needed this info.
Did you ever make any of the follow-up videos in this series, about other Chinese ingredients? If not, I hope you do. This was SOO helpful. I really appreciate how thorough you are when explaining everything. In my opinion yours is the best cooking channel on RUclips! Keep it up!
Just wanted to say thank you. I'm a pretty decently skilled home cook, but I've never had the consistently fantastic results with my Chinese cooking that my family and I have been enjoying since discovering your channel. Soooo many delicious dishes, I simply can't wait to try them all. And your presentation is absolutely spot on. You are a true gem. Thanks again!
I stood in the Chinese mart last week looking as lost as ever. I finally found the black vinegar. But everything else was waaah😰. Thank you for this much needed guide. Pictures help a lot. 😊😊
Fee fee etc
I can relate. I left the Nijiya Market with only regular light soy sauce. Did not know which bottle was dark or vineger because I did not understand mandarin nor japanese.
@@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT Most of the bottles have English on them here in the US, but there's so many choices. Hopefully this tutorial will help us next time.
True, everything I asked in the market, it seams there is a wall of it so I pick the cheapest one most the time. This video is a great help!
@@sunshine7453 Yes, if you are an American and not used to it, a Chinese market can be daunting. There are so many brands of everything and they just pile it up
Thanks so much for this. I live in a small town without an Asian grocery so Amazon saves the day. Your fried rice technique changed the way I cook.
Same here, thank you so much💜!
I live in a town where they look at you funny and ask so many question if you say you make your own Chinese food. If they want Chinese they go to the over priced Thai restaurant in town. They serve Chinese too. No thank you, I can make it myself so much cheaper.
I absolutely love how thorough you are with each ingredient, thank you. Looking forward to more.
What a clear and informative explanation! I’m going to come back to this reference often (maybe with a notepad!)
*Very thorough & detailed information. Very useful. Thank you! Have a great day.*
Agree - only video I have seen that explains the WHY of the ingredients.
@@warrenlauzon5315 🙏Danke she is good, how she thorough & detail information to all of us give, may GOD BLESS HER, and you too. Tuty Fuchs, Germany.
Love the detail and ideas your giving me. It also explains a lot of what I may not have before that I had observerved.
I was hoping you can tell me how to make my oyster sauce last as long as possible and best ways to store it.
Love her presentation
Do not like MSG in some of sauces used.
Brianna, what a gift ! Thankyou for your detailed list of ingredients and how to use and care for them. What a wonderful lesson. You're so articulate and bright. A joy to watch and listen to. Thankyou so much for sharing. ❤
Your English is FANTASTIC you go girl👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for this list! I enjoy creating new dinner meals using different seasonings, sauces, and other flavor enhancers. I like to try making Chinese dishes too so I really appreciate your guide to brands and how to store properly!
I love how well organized and informative this presentation is. The advice on oyster sauce was spot on (used it yesterday) but, in general, so nicely done.
Wow, Chinese cooking made easy, I have been looking for someone like you for ages!
I am so happy that I found your channel! I have been binge watching your channel for the last week or so and oh and absolutely love your delivery of your message and your throne is! I also extremely love the fact that you incorporate your language into your videos!
I just made fried rice this evening and my husband always tels me that I have it for chicken fried rice…..thanks to you my dear!
This was very interesting video! Brand recommendations rock! I can not read the labels so having a recommendation from someone I trust who cooks naturally is very important to me. I could see purchasing items recommended by you and cooking many of your recipes! Thank you!
This is wonderful I have been waiting for this kind of information for a very long time thank you so much your videos are awesome your smile is contagious and I look forward to more videos from you
Thank you for the detailed descriptions Mandy, I do enjoy all your tutorials and I’m amazed you are able to come up with so many great recipes at such a young age! Like most of your subscribers I’m a foodie myself, looking forward to your upcoming videos.😋
Thank you so much for compiling all this knowledge for strangers on the internet.
Between you, Adam Liaw and Chinese Cooking Demystified, I feel ready soup up my culinary practice!
I must say also as an added bonus that it feels like a proper way to honor the heritage of my teachers and masters in gongfu.
(Incredible work on organizing all your efforts through amazon. As someone who lives in a remote arctic town, being able to get many of these tools and ingredients will be a source of so much joy)
Much appreciated
You are smart, articulate and so informative!
I've tried for YEARS to make good Chinese food, made endless trips feeling so confused and unable to get help from the Chinese grocery store :/
Thank you!!
I will go back with a list from this video in hand.
Blessings to you,
Victoria
I so agree!
I love how detailed u are love it new subscriber here aaaay loved your page been doing ur recipes very easy to follow thank u so much!!!
Good afternoon 🌞 I wanted to tell you thank you so very much for your posts. I appreciate you doing them in English and giving measurements for ingredients. Your amazing 😍
I was just getting ready to go and stock up on seasoning for Chinese cooking This video could not come in a better time thank you I've been wanting someone to do a video like this so I have everything I need when I watch a video that you put out or some others.
Thanks Mandy, this helps a lot! I had no idea what I was getting into the first time I went into an Asian market.
Hi Mandy, Wow, well explain fantastic i learn more and more from you . great explanation i couldn't asked for anything else. thank you so much.
I just found your videos and love watching them. That was a great explanation of ingredients in Chinese cooking. I often want to buy something at the store to try a recipe at home but get confused by the different types of ingredients and don't know which one to choose. This made it so simple. Thank you.
You really do care about your content. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
I love it when she says " Dou Ban Jiang" I cook Szechwan food with it. Thank you so much!!!
You are my “go to” for learning authentic Chinese cooking techniques and products. Thank you 🙏
ive been a BBQ Pit Master and a Celtic Cook and now that im retired I found Your channel Since I moved to Micronesia and I went amd bought the 6 items a Wok and am eating Healthier and learning into my old age! tonight i did the Bock choy amd beef>>>>>Loved it! thank You
This was great. I always wondered what some of these sauces were and was confused as to what to buy. Love your thorough explanations.
Love you’re honestly!! And you are an amazing Chef!
Thank you 🙏🏻
As always, I love your content. I am learning so much. Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks so much, you are helping me really understand Chinese cuisine, which has long been my favourite, so much variety of dishes and much more healthy balance of ingredients. Please keep up the great work. I love the simplest dishes, like the plain lo me in noodle side dish.
Steve (64 yrs)
Love the way you present, honest, to the point, and no-bullshit. I've learned so much from your videos here.
Brilliant! Thank you so much! These ingredients can be confusing for those of us not familiar with these cuisines. Keep these videos coming!
Excellent information about the proper seasonings used in Chinese cooking. My favorites are Chinese, Thai, and Indian food. Thanks for posting!
I took screen shots of what I do not have yet. I am so excited to watch more of your cooking tutorials and become a better home cook. I have noticed since I began eating mostly Asian cuisines this year my digestive system is moving properly again and mental health is on the mend. I have more energy less brain fog/anxiety and I am able to manage my stress better. Its amazing what changing your diet can do for you.
So genuine and straight adorable. I love your videos and will be recommending your channel to everyone I know. Thanks for what you do!
A big thank you for being so generous of sharing your knowledge. Have a wonderful new year and more recipes 😋😊
This girl is the best. So many other Asian cooking videos where there isn't a single authentic Asian ingredient. Just soy sauce and other things you can buy at Publix.
Only thing missing is an invitation to dinner!!! Thankful I LOVE Chinese Food ask my children. Whenever someone as me choose a restaurant, Chinese is what ALL my children will tell you. I have restaurants in my town, but none like General Lee’s in China Town San Francisco or Los Angeles. So glad I found you. Now I can eat it everyday!!!
Thank you so much for explaining so much about different Chinese sauces and ingredients. This was very very helpful.
Very informative. Can't wait to know more about the rest of the ingredients you've shown at the start of the video.
This just popped up on my suggestions, today! Thank you so much for this amazing information! ❤️❤️❤️
In Dallas here with plenty of Asian markets, and I gotta say this video here got me through two years of learning how to cook Chinese during the pandemic. Thank you so much!!!
Excellent reference material. I especially appreciate the brand recommendations and reasons for them and storage tips as I never knew why some things my mother would leave out and others in the frig. Thanks!
Excellent. More like this please.
Wow, Thanks for the info!
Thank you for opening the door to a new experience. Recipes are great but knowing the various ingredients used and why makes it interesting. Keep up the great tutorials on the various Asian ingredients that allot of us North Americans are not familiar with. Love your channel.
100% Love all your videos. Sometimes because I need an idea on cooking, because I want to learn how to cook something, or just because the way you explain perfectly what you're cooking, why you're cooking it a certain way, and what happens if you mess up each step. It's like you can see me going,"I don't have that," or,"I can just do this instead." Thank you, again, for your videos and cheerful optimism.
Wow I am so grateful for your videos! I can't wait to get these and start trying dishes!
Extremely helpful video Thank you so much for making it!💞 helped me understand the differences in all the sauces
I really appreciate your channel. The way you explain things is very informative and delightful. There are so many different dishes that would like to try, but since I'm just starting out on my Chinese cuisine journey, I have to keep it simple. Thank you for the inspiration to try different things.
Very, very detailed video containing great information on Chinese Ingredients. I just saw this for the first time and was glued to it. I think I'm going to be taking notes and going shopping for new ingredients!!!! Then on to recipes!!!! Thank you for all the hard work that went in to making this video.
Because of your channel, I have ventured into Chinese recipes. Thank so much for all your recipes and recommendations!!!
An excellent and educational video. Thank you! We have many Asian markets in Houston, but I never know what is best to buy. This is a great help!!
I've seen all of those sauces, spices , dried ingridients into my grandma's kitchen but only few knew it's uses. Thank you for sharing what a great tips. I've learned a lot from your videos.
Thank you for this; this is the second time I have watched it. It is so very helpful that I have saved it for later when I have time to write down everything for my cooking files.
I love your shows!
Great video. Now I know what these ingredients are and how to use them. Happy to be a Patreon supporter! I look forward to the next video. THANKS MANDY!!
OMG I been looking for this thank you!!!
This is so informative I really appreciate it
I'm so glad I found you, my daughter told me about you. You are a delight to listen to and I will enjoy making a lot of your dishes. Keep up the outstanding cooking and info!!! Thank you!!!
I have learned so much from your videos....please keep them coming!
I intend to watch this video over and over to learn it.
Thank you so much for the info 🙂👍
Mandy, I just discovered you channel and love it! Thanks so much. Please do the other videos on spices, dried ingredients and don't forget the one on fermented indgreients, too!
Thank you so much!! This is literally going to save me like two hours of standing in the aisles at H-Mart trying to figure out which bottle I need!
It would be nice if the h-mart added English labels on the shelves if not on the bottom of the products . That’s why they invented QR codes. I’ve got an h-mart on my corner but it can be very frustrating when searching for non Korean ingredients in a Korean store where a lot of products are labeled in an alphabet or language I don’t recognize.
There are so many varieties of Chinese bean paste and there is so little standardization as to how to spell them in roman script that it is frustrating trying to find the right ingredients
I know I’m kind of asking for Spanish and German Hungarian and Greek speciality ingredients to be sold in the same store but I can hope.
This is extremely helpful. Thank you and I look forward to seeing the rest of the ingredients.
I appreciate you so much, I'm just trying to learn Chinese cooking and watching your videos is amazing! Thank you for your help and I look forward to every video I watch,
you're awesome
This is the video I have been looking for! Thank you for such useful information!
A lot of amazing information here, thank you! 💖👍
About time my sweetness. I really enjoy your videos and appreciate you for sharing. I been hoping that I could get this info. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I usually substitute dark soy sauce with a tiny portion of blackstrap molasses. Its nutritious, colors food like dark soy sauce and can double as a replacement for the sugar a lot of Shanghainese recipes call for
I love using mild molasses in coffee and anywhere else sugar is needed. It makes coffee a little richer and helps with things like muscle cramps and all the electrolytes balance out the dehydrating effects of caffeine. 1 taablespoon has around 5-7% of the magnesium and potassium you need in a day so I add a heaping tablespoon to each of the 3 cups i drink a day so it comes out to around 4 tablespoons a day which gives me around 20-30% of the potassium and magnesium in a day and really cut way down on the muscle cramps i get from exercising
Thanks, good tip.
@@arthas640 Thank you for this info!
Thank you very much, it was a great education on the different sauces and what they're used for..
I love how honest she is!
Very good video. Your tips on what to look for in the ingredients lists are especially appreciated.
Very informative and detailed video. I’m learning so much from you... thank you!
Thank you so much for the great descriptions! Always like to learn!
Yes this is what I need for chinese dishes. Thankyou very much for sharing these sauces.
