I've never mixed them up in the same dish. That just doesn't feel right. ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE2MFS6s7rQ |

Brand is Dynasty. It is made in and imported from Thailand. 6.7oz bottle. Not sure what to do with it but I add a bit to any stir-fry sauce I make. I love asian food but I do admit that I'm very "challenged" in that cuisine. Made fried rice last week with some leftover rice. Added minced carrots, onion and garlic. This time I just put that into a bowl with lid and microwaved it until the carrots bits were cooked, rather than frying. Mixed up a sauce using soy sauce, Nuoc Mam and a tiny bit of sesame oil. Mixed that in and my portions were off. Super salty even for me. Then I remembered that many asian sauces include some sugar and I had forgotten that. So I mixed in a bit of sugar and that made the taste so much better. At least it was good enough to finish eating rather than toss it. Anyone here have any good mix ideas for a sauce for either fried rice or any stir fry? I DO know to add some cornstarch to thicken a stir fry. As I said, I'm asian cuisine challenged but would like to learn better. |

Balancing salty with sweet is an important concept in Asian cooking. For the sauce, you add sugar and then taste for balance. You have to learn how to do this. For starters, you can make teriyaki sauce. Pour light Japanese shoyu in a bowl and add some sugar. Taste. Add more sugar, if needed, repeat until the balance seems right to you. Add grated ginger if you like and dilute with water to the strength that seems right for you. As far as fish sauce goes, the best one is the cheapest that I see on the shelf when I'm buying the stuff. |

Careful on 'fish sauce' folks, though ds1 probably gets it's not 'shoyu' many other countries get confused between 'sauce made from fish' and 'sauce used on fish'. Tiparos is a decent honest brand for Patis (fish sauce). |

That could be the fast and cheap way to make sauce. Traditionally, the stuff is made by layering small fish with salt in barrels. Using the whole fish instead of gutted fish speeds up the fermentation process. After a year or so, the fish has turned in goo and a clear, straw colored liquid can be extracted. |

Using the whole fish instead of gutted fish speeds up the fermentation process. After a year or so, the fish has turned in goo and a clear, straw colored liquid can be extracted. That sounds like the difference between traditional soy sauce and sped up soy sauce. But if there's at least 65% water in the fish sauce, then the total is at least 130%, not even counting sugar and salt. |

Perhaps it's an indication of the protein content of the extract, or the level to which the extract was concentrated. There seems to be a positive correlation between a fish sauce's protein content and its quality. Cindy Hamilton |

The only requirement in the U.S. is that they be listed in descending order of content by weight. A qualifier like (65%) does not necessarily indicate the percentage of the ingredient. The "ingredients" in flour (for example, added nutrients) are often listed parenthetically. It is a little odd to have that (65%), hanging there. Cindy Hamilton |

A second extraction would be sorta like adding more water to coffee grounds to make a batch of coffee. Secondary extractions are mixed with the primary extraction to make different quality levels of fish sauce. |

The Chinese are the world's biggest cheapskates. The Hawaiian word for Chinese is "Pake." Pake is also the Hawaiian word for cheapskate. To yoose guys, they's just funny looking yellow people but the Hawaiians have an imitate knowledge of the Chinese. They play an important part of our culture. As usual, you know nothing about what you speak. That's an important part of your culture! Pffft! ;p Sydney has lots of cheap Asian restaurants, especially cheap Chinese and Thai. They're great cooks, but I always wonder which shortcuts they've taken. The meat will be industry meat for sure. The fish will be tilapia or basa. Will the vegetables be grown with human manure? They can make a turd taste good, but you're still eating a turd. |

My boss' favorite restaurant in New York was closed down. The newspaper said there was cat in the pressed duck. This made him sad because he loved pressed duck and evidently, pressed cat. My rule of thumb is that you never want to go into the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant. Things will go a lot smoother that way. |

If Australia is anything at all like the U.S., the cheapest vegetables will be grown using chemical fertilizer. The labor to use manure of any kind would drive up the price. Cindy Hamilton |

Here you go. This stuff contains 2 ingredients: fish and salt. The protein content is high - something like 20%. https://www.amazon.com/Red-Boat-Prem...dp/B00B617XK2/ |
