My Kitchen Angel - A Saucy Post

One of the essential ingredients in any Chinese kitchen is soy sauce. There are so many brands of soy sauce out there, which one do I choose? When in doubt, ask your mom, after all mums know best ;)

Many years ago, my mum introduced me to Angel Soy Sauce, a trusted brand she uses herself and I have been using it ever since. As we use soy sauce on a daily basis, it is important to choose a good quality soy sauce. A good quality soy sauce will enable you to enjoy Chinese home cooking to the fullest by adding the umami flavour 鲜  to your food.

Angel Soy Sauce is produced by Bidor Kwong Heng, the leading sauce and condiments manufacturer in Malaysia. Bidor Kwong Heng’s modern factory manufactures products to the highest quality standards and is the first sauce manufacturer in Malaysia to use only non-GMO ingredients. It is also the first to receive ISO 9001:2000 and HACCP certification in 2002. Additionally, the company has also received International Food Safety Certification, such as the prestigious BRC certification and full FSSC22000 certification since 2011.

The premium quality Angel Soy Sauce is 100% naturally-brewed for 3-6 months and is made without added HVP (hydrolysed vegetable protein), thus it is free from 3 – MCPD, a carcinogenic compound which is highly suspected to be genotoxic in humans.  We also find that Angel Soy Sauce is less salty, while still possessing the umami taste.

We use soy sauce in stir fries, for marinating meats, as a dipping sauce, while braising meat, and many more - the list is endless on what you can do with soy sauce. Our family loves having steamed fish for dinner - we simply add garlic oil and soy sauce to the fish and steam it for about 7-8 minutes, until ready. Angel Soy Sauce is perfect for steaming fish, as it has a thicker consistency and the desirable "umami" flavour to complement the natural sweetness of the fish. This is a very simple dish to make in your kitchen, and only requires 5 main ingredients, so it is crucial to use the best ingredients.

Soy sauce is also a must when eating soft boiled eggs

Soy sauce is a key ingredient in our favorite chicken wings recipe! We marinate the wings in about 1/4 cup soy sauce, and other ingredients to create a delectable, finger-licking good, juicy wings!

We use soy sauce almost daily as a dipping sauce. Minced garlic, chopped chillies and soy sauce make up this condiment which is used as a dipping sauce for meats, noodles, and more.

Other than soy sauce, Bidor Kwong Heng also produces many other sauces under Angel Brand, including Angel Oyster Sauce and Angel Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce.

Oyster sauce adds a savoury flavour to dishes and is ideal for flavouring meat and vegetables. One of my favorite childhood dishes from our local Chinese "dai chow" restaurant is stir fried beef with oyster sauce and spring onions. I am able to recreate the same flavour at home, thanks to Angel Oyster Sauce. The beef is thinly sliced and is first marinated with soy sauce, ginger wine and white pepper, and then stir fried with garlic, ginger slices and flavoured with oyster sauce. A delicious dish!

I regularly use Angel Oyster Sauce to make the sauce for wanton noodles or any dried noodle dishes at home.

For those who like a spicy kick in their dishes, you will love Angel Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce. You can add it to your cooking (ie when making chicken wings), however we regularly use it as a dipping sauce or drizzled on top of our eggs. The other day, I made prawn omelette for dinner - the eggs are seasoned with light soy sauce, then beaten together with chopped spring onions. Once cooked, Sriracha sauce is drizzled all over for the extra heat.
