Why we chose this: It’s a no-brainer. Kleenex is to tissue as Squid is to fish sauce. This is the world renowned go-to brand for Thai, Vietnamese and Filipino homecooks in need of instant umami. Not overly pungent like some others either.
It’s got three ingredients. Anchovy, salt and sugar. No preservatives, no MSG - you’d be surprised given the height of flavour.
Anchovies are covered in salt, stored in barrels for months. The remaining liquid is what makes up much of the sauce.
The bouquet, already not as pungent as some, changes to an inviting combo of caramel and savoury as it meets heat. It’ll take your stir fry greens to that next level, no need to add salt.
Taste: Salted fish, umami explosion.
Uses: Aside from absolutely wherever your cooking calls for an umami turbo boost such as using it in stir fries, soups and even pasta, it is also a wonderful table condiment. Use it alongside sweet and chilli dipping sauces for an even bigger explosive flavour party for your rice paper rolls, spring rolls, southeast Asian curries. Perfect condiment for serving up ingredients from light soup broths (e.g. sinigang) as a dish to be had with rice.
