yea i've been saying for years
do not EVER EVER EVER buy low sodium soy sauce, they (sort of) chemically bleach it to get lower sodium, if youre worried about health just use less of it.
kikkoman is japanese
lee kum kee is chinese
it'll be a different taste, but they still use real fermented soy beans
if you need a deeper flavor, specifically for japanese, i suggest
kishibori
this is a smaller bottle, you'll see bigger 12oz bottles in places like sur la table
i use this soy sauce for foods i dip (sushi and dumplings) and when i make gyudon
there are more soy sauces out there tbh, the kishibori would probably be top
the next soy i'm gonna get is this one, but i just like the bottle, even tho it's made in china
while i do not believe this soy will work with yakisoba, it is a different rich soy, use sparringly and for cooking no dipping

lee kum kee makes a seasoned soy sauce only for chinese steamed fish.

tbh you don't need much, b/c once you cook it (if youre able to find an authentic place that makes to see)Lanx My kid wants to try to make that crispy pork belly from the masterchef video you linked in the Kyle Rittenhouse thread. What else do you make with it? Like just serve it with some rice or something? Should be get some kind of asian sauce? ty
chinese would come in (no gwei lo would cuz they don't know, unless a friend tells em) order a takeout box of roast pork and white rice and thats it, the juices from the pork coat the white rice and give it a nice aroma paired with thai jasmine rice
so yes, good rice is a great pairing
so if you don't have a basic rice cooker
dynasty makes a good brand, of course an asian grocer will be cheaper, i have seen dynasty in walmarts too, so that could be a more budget way to get rice if you have no asian grocer
if you need more info on rice, just ask away

My wife has been using a very basic rice cooker that is almost perfect every time but she is starting to make noise about it. Do you have a recommendation for something slightly above basic or is that your recommendation?tbh you don't need much, b/c once you cook it (if youre able to find an authentic place that makes to see)

On a separate note I decided to learn to make bread this year. My first loafs, Ciabatta. They were nice average loafs. I needed to stretch the dough a little more in the middle.
