- Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
In today's video I'm going to be sharing with you
three quick and easy family meal ideas.
It's been a while since I've done a foodie video,
but I was recently approached by a soy sauce brand
called Lee Kum Kee, and I love saying their name,
Lee Kum Kee (chuckles) but anyway,
they sent me out their products to test,
and they are so good that I thought I would
share them with you and also give you
three different recipes of how I used them,
and one of the recipes that I'm gonna show you
is actually my grandmother's recipe,
so I really hope you like it.
So Lee Kum Kee are the masters of soy sauce,
they've been around for 129 years,
they are a household name in China
and the number one soy sauce brand in Hong Kong,
but what I really liked about them is they are MSG free,
they don't use any preservatives,
and they use non-GMO soybeans,
whereas some other brands that you get,
and especially the little sachets of soy sauce,
they can be full of chemicals,
so I really like that this brand isn't,
and they go through a really long
three- to six-month fermenting process,
it's basically the Rolls-Royce of soy sauce.
So I tested them out, and they are coming to Europe now,
and they're educating Europeans
that it's not just Light or Dark Soy Sauce.
They sent me five different soy sauces to try,
and they do all have different tastes
and different ways that you can use them.
So I'm gonna show you my three favorite recipes now
and hopefully show you the differences
in a few of them as well.
Right, so the first recipe that I'm gonna share
with you today is a very simple honey and soy salmon.
This is absolutely delicious,
it only takes minutes to put together,
and it's the kind of thing I can throw together
if I haven't really planned dinner
because I normally have these ingredients
in my cupboard anyway.
For this recipe, we're gonna be using
the Double Deluxe Soy Sauce, which has been double fermented
so it's a stronger and richer taste,
and out of all the soy sauces that I've been sent
I would have to say that that is the one
that I've been using the most
and that I like the most, it's amazing.
So anyway, this is what you're gonna need.
You will need garlic, some ginger, a little bit of oil,
honey, and soy sauce, and as I said,
we're using the Double Deluxe Soy Sauce for this recipe,
and don't worry, I will put in the description bar
the exact measurements that you'll need,
but all you have to do for this
is mix all of the ingredients in a bowl,
and just give it a little bit of a stir,
and then pour it onto your salmon.
Pour half of the mixture onto the salmon
and keep half of the mixture for later,
and then just marinate it like this
for 30 to 45 minutes in the fridge,
and then after that time, just get it out and pan-fry it.
All you have to do is pan-fry it for two to three minutes
on each side and that is it.
It will make a beautiful glaze on it,
and it will taste so, so nice.
Then just plate it up like this,
and try not to break it like I am (chuckles),
and once the salmon is out of the frying pan,
get the sauce that you have held back,
and put it back onto the heat for about a minute,
and this makes a really nice extra sauce
that you can then pour on top of the salmon.
And then I serve it with greens and with rice,
and for the rice, I like to use the Premium Light Soy Sauce
because this is perfect for rice dishes,
and then that is it, then you can just enjoy.
My next recipe is my grandmother's soy sauce
and lemon marinade, this is so easy and so delicious.
This is a marinade that she would do a lot for steak,
but I'm gonna show you on chicken today,
it's also delicious on pork.
But for this one, I'm going to be using
the Red Braising Sauce.
This, I would say, is a bit thicker
than the other soy sauces, and it's also seasoned,
so if you're a time-poor person like myself,
this is ideal for marinades.
So all you're gonna have to do for this marinade
is remember that it's equal parts soy sauce and lemon
and what the lemon juice does to the meat is tenderize it,
so all you have to do is mix up the soy sauce and lemon.
I do two tablespoons soy sauce
and then two tablespoons of lemon,
but if you were doing more meat,
feel free to just remember that it's equal parts,
and then also add some fresh garlic,
or if you're really lazy like me,
don't even worry about the fresh garlic,
just whack in some garlic puree 'cause I always have that
in my fridge and it's so quick and easy.
But just mix that up together
and then put it all over your meat
and leave it on your meat for about 30 to 45 minutes,
and then you can oven bake your chicken, you can pan-fry it,
we actually barbecued it tonight
'cause that's another way that you can do it
and it is delicious, it is such a nice flavor.
I also like doing this one for meal prep
because it's such an easy one,
it just adds a little bit of something to my meat.
So yeah, definitely try this one out,
my grandma will be happy.
And my third and final recipe is a great one for the kids,
it is my rainbow veggie noodles.
I can get different colored noodles at my local supermarket,
I can get orange, green, and white,
so it just adds a little something for the kids,
and this whole meal takes just 10 minutes to make,
so let's show you how I make it.
Again, I will put this recipe in the description
but I'm using pork, you can use chicken as well,
I'm using pork, and then my colored noodles,
and then some veggies, and if you're really lazy like me,
I just buy the pre-chopped up, stir-fry veggies like this,
and then I have my Double Deluxe Soy Sauce,
and then also some Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce as well.
So I'm chopping up the pork very small
because I'm making it for the kids as well,
but if you wanted you could also have it in strips,
and then all you have to do is stir-fry the meat
for about three minutes or 'til when
it is a bit more cooked, and then once it's cooked
I will add in the veggies for about a minute,
and then I'll add the cooked noodles
and then two tablespoons of the Deluxe Soy Sauce
and two tablespoons of the Oyster Sauce and that is it.
It is that easy and then you serve it up,
and if this is gonna be new for your kids,
I wanted to show you a really cool mom hack.
I buy this cake decoration, it's like a glitter,
it's edible but it doesn't taste of anything
and you can spray this on new meals and give it to the kids,
and what I say is that the fairies have made this meal
and that the fairies will be upset if they don't try it.
So I know that might sound really crazy and maybe
a bit funny but honestly it works, so definitely try it.
The next time you're giving them a brand new meal to try,
spray it with a little bit of glitter
and they will think the fairies have made it for them.
Right, so that's it for this video,
I really hope you enjoyed it.
Let me know in the comments which recipe you like the most,
and I will also link below Lee Kum Kee's YouTube channel
because they post recipes every week over there,
so it's worth taking a look, but yeah,
thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you in my next one.
Bye, guys!
