Mayonnaise, it is getting ready to be summer and I need a vegan version for tomato sandwiches, potato salad, etc. I like the way that you tell the whole story... With options for everybody 🙏
Yes pls!!!!!
Yes please 🎉
Mayo, yes! In past I've made homemade mayo but it takes eggs
Silken tofu blended works well for a sandwich spread, if you add some seasonings
Vegan mayo tastes gooood
Derik! This is epic. I was literally at my grocery store 1 hour ago and I ALMOST bought this because of how much you use it… I decided not to buy it because of the ingredients and the price… I’m so glad to be able to check out this tutorial thank you!! 🙏
Awesome, I hope you like my version :D
btw it’s Derek not Derik
My hero!!!! This sauce is so expensive here and obviously not the healthiest but soooo good. I kept meaning to write you to request a homemade version. Dream come true! You're the best!
It's honestly incredible how hard your videos and recipes go sometimes. I've been cooking most of my life and am continuously surprised by the techniques you use, the ways you prepare things, and cracking the code on beloved condiments like bachan's. Well done as always 💖
Thank you!
I rushed to my kitchen to make your second version. It's fantastic! I don't have dates and used two small sweet apples. Thank you so much, Derek.
oh wow, apples are a great substitute. Glad you liked it!
I was going to ask about this. Korean bulgogi sauce uses Asian pear for sweetness. Cool to hear apples worked. What variety did you use?
i have never even heard of this sauce but now i wanna try it, which is exactly why we need videos like these, thanks man!
I just bought some of the og sauce and really just tastes like high quality ginger teriyaki sauce tbh. Definitely good but I've had it before in other brands.
I’m Japanese, so I’m glad to watch this!! Thank you as always!!
Can you answer my question, is it true that mirin is supposed to be naturally sweet without added sugar? All brands in the Asian stores in Seattle contain sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. The only one I've found that's just "water, organic rice, sea salt, koji" is Eden Mirin at Whole Foods ("product of Japan"), the one Derek is using. Do most mirins in Japan have sugar, or not?
It’s true.
However, it is called hon-mirin, and most of the other types contain sugar and additives.
@@snoopy.358 Thanks. I found an article explaining hon-mirin and what it calls "mirin-like seasonings".
Would love it if you would demo orange sauce or how to make a vegan version of orange chicken without mushrooms.
Also a sweet and sour sauce to drizzle over veggie stir fry would be great.
Love your videos!
Thank you for making them.
AGREED!!
Oh yeah I third this. No mushroom orange ‘chicken’ would be AMAZING.
I love watching your videos with my mother.
Genius at work! Thanks for the healthier version. Much appreciated. 🙏🏻
I especially like the use of fresh ingredients!!
After hearing about it from you, I vaguely remembered seeing it at Costco. The last time I went to Costco I went looking for it & there was none to be found. I'm in Ontario. Definitely worth making as it will be 100% healthier. Thanks!
The only place I’ve seen it is Amazon.
Made the “Date” version yesterday.
Ate it today in a stir fry.
I added the rice wine, because I had it in the pantry.
It was friggin awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom!
From the left coast of 🇨🇦
I bought that bbq because of you I was literally using it every day it taste delicious when you added to crispy tofu.
it's so good!
It's everywhere where i am in the States but expensive for a much smaller bottle than the one you were holding. Thank you bc we use this sauce on soy curls when making poke bowls. It's really good and the healthier option is perfect! 10/10!
Thanks for both versions. You're awesome!
Fantastic!!
Thank you for cracking it!! I have been wanting to make this.
Great job! Thanks for figuring it out! 😊
THANK YOU for this tutorial!!
This looks so good! Glad I saw this before heading out for groceries😊
Thanks, Derek! Can’t wait to try this sauce.❤❤
You’re the best Derek ! Thank you for doing the work for us !
Can’t wait to try this sauce! Thanks for sharing your this recipe :)
I like this recipe, I'll try to do it tomorrow, thank you for the ideas
Thxs Derek always appreciate tiMe and ingenuity!
Amazing, the replica and the healthy version, thanks Derek!
Thank you for sharing! I just bought some of that sauce and now i can make it myself
We’ve been waiting for you to do this! ❤
This looks interesting, haven't seen it here in Spain so will be making some. You can never have enough sauces, thanks for sharing ❤
I love this sauce! The Costco size one is in my fridge right now. I'm excited to make a healthier version, thank you for cracking the code!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make these healthier versions then so kindly sharing your wonderful recipes.
🤩AMAZING 🤩
Can't wait to give you more to de-construct!!🎉🎉🎉
I use this to marinate my tofu. I will try your versions. Thanx so much.
So timely! I almost bought this at Costco the other day, now I can make the healthier version! Thank you, Derek! You never disappoint!❤
this is great! and if u dont wanna blend up dates you can always try maple syrup ;) I love a good maple note in asian sauces with garlic and ginger it just is so good to me!
Thank you soooooooo much Derek! You are a life saver! I adore your videos! You are really inspiring and talented! I have been watching your videos since the beginning! Time goes by so so fast! ❤😂
Oooh yay! We love this sauce and stocked up on it while it was on sale at costco, but now of course it’s gone. Definitely gonna try the date version! ♥️👍
Thank you!
Yayyyy, so happy you took the time to deconstruct the recipe for the sauce. I havent seen this sauce in germany yet so am super happy to be able to make it at home now. Thank you so, so much 😃🥰
You're welcome!
Fantastic, you know I’m going to make the sugar less version for sure. Thank you so much for sharing so appreciated. 👍❤️🙂
Thanks for a great recipe!!!.Sounds like it will be a good alternative sauce. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon.
Yum, this will be perfect for the tofu and veggies I eat for dinner!
Was waiting on this one!
Well done!
Oooh, thanks so much!
Thanks for the video
Thank you! I haven't been able to find it either.
Can't wait to try this! I would love to see a Japanese YumYum sauce or shrimp sauce one of the things I miss about having some great Japanese food.
Wow, this was absolutely awesome! I was wiping out the pan with my fingers it was so good!
which version did you make?
The ones with dates. It was super easy and blended up quickly.@@poppyr4639
@@poppyr4639 the one with dates.
I stocked up on Bachan's when it was on sale at Costco. Planned on experimenting to make my own before it runs out. Now I don't have too! Thanks for doing it for us 😊. Excited about the date version!
Absolutely did licious you did it again. Can’t wait to try it myself with the dates and to share it with my friend Kimberly in New York.❤🙏
Thanks, Derek!
I’m definitely making the second one in our meal plan next week!! Thank you for sharing!! Video idea…could you show us how you use the instant pot for making up your own recipes? Is there a basic setting or method of dry to wet ingredients that you do?
I tried recreating the miso Bachan’s a few weeks ago for the reasons you mentioned as well as the price, and I was frustrated with the way it came out. Thank you for this amazing video!
I think your twist with the dates will be the one I trye 😊
Yummy!
I bought this brand because of you. In the US I get mine in Walmart. I recently bought the miso flavored one.👍🏾
Thank you- I have always wished I could get hold of that sauce but living over in Europe I can’t find it anywhere. Can’t wait to try it! Thanks so so much for your efforts👍❤️💪
Thank you!! Its a great base for me to work around to make even more low sodium for my AHF heart!
I knew you could do it!
Sauce King!!! 👑
I love this stuff! We put it on everything. I can get it easily here in the states, but it's still expensive. Looking forward to trying the homemade healthy version!
YES!! I've been looking for a good sauce-dressing with dates. Leave it to Simnett to come up with one. I cannot wait to make this. Top priority.
We love your vids. As far as the Japanese BBQ Sauce - well we can't even get it here in Australia. We will definitely be giving your version a try.
Thanks so much for this recipe. I bought some at Costco because of your recommendation, but I don’t usually like to eat gluten. 😊
Hello from Germany. Thanks for this recipe. This was so incredibly expensive i never bought it. Now i can make my own. Thanks 😊
I have been looking for that sauce since you did your Costco haul ....never could find it. Now I don't need to.....thank you!!
In Seattle I get it at Costco but I've seen it at a couple other stores. I bought it for a while but then stopped in order to focus on less-processed sauces (soy sauce). I make a comparable flavoring with 1 unit of mirin, 1 of rice vinegar, and 2 of soy sauce, but of course it doesn't have all the nuances of the flavor.
Thanks for all the hard work in getting the recipe together.
Do you have any idea how long it would last in the fridge.
YUM!!
Thank you so much! Now I can make your healthy version 🤤
Mirin substitute - medium sherry works great in all asian food - it is sweeter and heavier than sake.
Thanks Derek! The sauce is still available at my Costco in Virginia, USA, but I’ll be making yours after I use it all up!
I think my Costco still has that but it's great to create ur own and I love that u made a healthier version.
Perfect. I couldnt find anything like these sauces in Denmark. So this is perfect. I really would like you to make a video about different breadspreads like you can buy them. Often based on chickpeas or sunflowers with tastes like "Toscana", ...
BRUH…the timing of this video was perfect! I just finished up my Bachan’s Japanese BBQ sauce I got from Costco! And now I’ve got 2 versions to make!🔥 Seriously thank you so much for this recipe! Can’t wait to try it out! ALSO funniest part of the video is your reaction at 1:51!😳🤣
Looks beautiful. I have your book....I just need you and Crystal to come and cook. LOL.
I'm glad I stayed until the end to see the date sauce because I almost left when I saw all the sugar at first! Good work, Derek. A+
Hey man i love your hiking vlogs can you post more of those. Canada is beautiful
Hey Derek! So glad you figured this out. Can't wait to make them myself.
Glad you're ok and that you didn't blow up the lab. A little too much spice and it could have been Kaboom!😁
Luckily you've got it all under control!
Cheers 🇨🇦
Bonjour! Fellow Canadian here 💪 from the Atlantic living in Ottawa :-) Im loving your videos man! Your petsonality, your products, the info you share. My girlfriend and I are learning good stuff -- and I actually found this Asian sauce today in Gatineau 😊 I would have maybe skipped it unless I seen your previous video using, but then I noticed it and thought of you being vegan and checked it out. Turns out the ingredients were pretty good -- and some organics ingredients. Im loving the tests. Im excited to see more healthy options we can get here in Canada. Thanks friend! ❤
Going to make this and then use it as a binder on my smoked meats.
well done
Oh my gosh too funny you read my mind. I was in Costco last night and I was going to buy this because I've seen you use it in your videos but I did not like all the sugar in it. So I took a picture of the ingredients and was going to make my own healthy version this weekend. Now since you mastered it I will just follow yours.
Can’t wait to try this! How long can this store in the fridge for? If I were to use date paste instead, how much would I use?
Japanese BBQ, yes, it looks delicious. That sauce would definitely go great on one of your epic tofu dishes 🍜 🎌
I just recently bought that sauce for the first time. Yum! It will be interesting to try making a healthier version.
Speaking of yum, have you ever had Cafe Yumm’s Yumm sauce? You can get it in Cafe Yumm & select grocery stores in the PNW US. So good - that would be a great one to deconstruct.
Hey I did try this and it turned out great! There is a dressing/dip/sauce that I cannot get where I live and I’m wondering if maybe one day you could give this one a shot and try to remake? It’s called Umami crave the fifth curried maple
Can you maybe show some substitutes using umme plum for tart/ acid. I am allergic to vinegar and lemon juice doesn’t always sub. Maybe a paste to add to sauces? Super healthy!
I was having trouble finding this tahini salad dressing (Annies Goddess) and back in January I concocted my own version and after quite a bit of trial and error and persistence, I actually came up with a recipe that I like even better and I'm hooked on it. Not to mention it also saves a lot of money from buying the Annies. It's also a very fast and easy recipe. So lately I've been thinking of ways to reverse engineer some other sauces like the Iron Chef General Tso's sauce and something like the Organicville BBQ sauce. It's the best BBQ sauce in my opinion it's just harder to get and they don't sell it locally or anywhere near here.
I like how you break it down and explain your process 👍
1:42 you can substitute mirin with
a cheap medium sherry. Personally I don't care for the sweetness of mirin and use chardonnay instead.
I first saw this BBQ sauce in one of your past videos. I'm from Ottawa, ON and can't find the sauce at our local Costco or other stores. I just came back from Florida was lucky to find some at the local Costco and bought 2 bottles. They were $9.99 USD for large bottles (forget exactly how much) Did see some at Publix for $10.99 for have the size of the bottles at Costco. Glad you figured out the recipe cause not going back to FL anytime soon. Like all your videos, love your enthusiasm. Thanks for the recipes and suggestions.
Awesome! I'm glad you found it so you can try it!
That looks delicious. Since I now follow a ketogenic diet, I will try making this with monkfruit powder instead.
YUMMMMMMM
So way back when I was first cooking asian dishes, I couldn't figure out why my teriyaki sauce didn't taste more like takeout. Then I discovered mirin and that really made a big difference. It is a bit pricey, but it has become an important addition to many of my asian-inspired sauces.
I bought that sauce from Costco it’s great.
Cannot wait to make the healthier version. Please come up with a Vegan Mayo recipe!!!!
In addition to this I’d love to see a vegan ‘Yum Yum’ sauce. Tangy mayo like condiment to drizzle on Asian foods (or any food!)
Thank you for this!! I wanted to try that sauce but it isn’t gluten free so now I can make it myself with GF tamari 🥰
Awesome! Stoked for you. Enjoy :)
Congrats on crack'n the Bachan's Code! It's been a long time coming. Cheers!
