Shopping For Asian Condiments & Rice - What To Buy...And Avoid! 

If I ever see Bobby in person best believe I will follow him around Whole Foods with a pen and paper. Lol 😂 no shame.

Your the best Bobby! Really appreciate your videos and the information you provide!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Bobbie and his crew!!!!! Always be true.... and keep it up. We have totally overhauled our shopping and eating because of these videos!!!!! God bless!!!!

Bobby: “It’s an aquatic grass” Me: 😳😳😳 you learn something new every day!

Gochujang is used in many dishes and side dishes like cucumber salad, marinade for meats, and stews. It's a sauce used in bibimbap as well. It's usually used with other ingredients depending on what you're making.

Yay! So glad you made this video!🙌🏾🙌🏾 I always have a hard time figuring out which brand to buy when it comes to Asian meals! As always thank you for your dedicated time and review!✊🏾✌🏾❤️

Your shopping videos are my absolute FAVORITE!!!! Hitting us with knowledge bombs!! Amazing!!! Love your Thomas collabs as well!!!!

Loved shopping with you and art during the live stream the other day! Keep up the good work Bobby👍👍💜💜

Thanks for the knowledge, Bobby. I’m so glad you mentioned Sky Valley Siracha - it never leaves my pantry. Definitely best on the market. Thanks again and enjoy your weekend! :)

Thanks for this, I've been exploring Asian cooking lately. Lovely stuff.

Just recently came across Bobby's videos and I've learned so much!! 💯💥❤ Honestly still learning 😅 I'm not keto, paleo, etc just trying to be more conscious of what I'm putting into my body and reduce my carb & sugar intake slowly but because of Bobby and just paying more attention to ingredients and switching to more wholesome organic/less preservative cooking, I've already lost 9 pounds in less than a 2 week period!!! 😱💕💪🏻🙏🏻 that's more improvement then I had I a long time. I've struggled with my weight since my teens. THANK YOU BOBBY AND THE GANG KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING! #flavfamily4life 😄

I think you read my mind! I just bought coconut aminos for the first time yesterday and I make my own “sriracha” nowadays. Thank you for the awesome videos! Love them!

Bobby!!!! Best thing happened today! My kids all 3 said "YES" TO WATCHING FLAVCITY. WIN WIN WIN! MY BOOK CAME IN SUNDAY. SO WE ARE BACK!!! Woohoo. Got yall streaming to my tv. Just listening in all day. Love you guys!

I soaked my wild rice over night before I cook . It cooks faster that way only take 15 minutes in my rice cooker

Another great video by the Flav-Brothers!

I just recently found your social media page. I am really learning a lot! I have never tried paleo or ketogenic. My husband doesn't like vegetables and is addicted to all things carbs. Thank you for all you do to help people do better!

Gochujang actually fermented with soy & barley malt. That’s where the gluten come from. To use in recipe, i love to add it last after sweating onion, green onion/leek, julienne carrot & garlic then add some shredded cabbage & 1-2 tbs of gochujang. It tastes so good w/ pork shoulder meat. I normally would pile them on together 1st, veggies in the bottom, topped w/ pork slices & gochujang.

Your the best! Love all your videos and your voice🤗❤️Thank you for all this amazing content!

You guys have been working your booties off this month! Thanks for all the hard work.

Your videos are great. I get the whole family to watch. Could you do a segment on dog foods for puppies? There are so many products out there and it's hard to chose the right food.

First comment here but a huge fan for over a year now!! I was so happy when you picked out the fish sauce and sesame oil because I picked those two out last month. I’m glad they are Bobby approved! ✅✅✅ As for the Mother in Laws Gouchujang, I haven’t had that but I picked up the kimchi paste! I use it as a chicken marinade with garlic, ginger, honey, fish sauce. I also added the paste to some nasoya pasta zero.

Thank you for the clarity on Asia seasonings,

Loved this video! Lots of new info learned

Thank you for explaining tamari and how it can replace soy sauce for people who are trying to stay away from wheat! I personally like 3 Crabs brand fish sauce and you should try chili-garlic sauce- it's wonderful to warm up a dish without adding a vinegary taste.

I’ve been looking for this ❤️❤️thank you

@FlavCity with Bobby Parrish the fermented chillie paste is what you use if you're in the mood for some Korean bulgogi. Works great with beef and red meats too. Thank you for all what you do! 😊

I started using gochujang in place of sriracha in many recipes. I think it provides more “umami” flavor. Great in soups and for marinades.

Yesss! Thank you for doing this video ♥️

Gojujang - Spicy Korean BBQ for Korean Tacos, Tofu Stews, Meat, and almost all Korean dishes! Korean food is so popular here in the States now. Worth spinning up a recipe!

Will buy all while am in usa in may for my cousin graduation love your stories amd food made me hungry as always love your hauls videos soooooooooo much drooling over my samsung galaxy j4 love your dad and stories always brighten up my day love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya

My husband loves Gochujang. We make Korean beef bowls and Asian style beef & cabbage stir fry and he puts its on top of those dishes 👍🏻

Great Video! Thank you and keep 'em coming!

Gochujang is FANTASTIC even on the side 😍

Love your channel.. I think it's great. Gochujang is used in many Korean dishes.. You can mix in rice, veggies, meat, and add gochujang with drizzle of sesame oil (bibimbap) or meat marinade for stir fry.. Go easy with gochujang it's spicy so use little at a time..

Lots of great info. Thank you!

Brown rice from California is lower in arsenic .Still rinse prior to cooking and cook like pasta with a lot of water till al dente and drain.Makes great rice

i would love a video about quick and easy snacks that need slightly more than opening a bag... like popping your own popcorn where you can dress it however you want... roasting canned chickpeas... that kind of thing (those are my only two ideas...would love more) thanks!!

can you say out loud the product names for those that are blind but love listening to your information please, thank you very much

Gochujang (paste) and gochugaru (red pepper flakes or powder) are some of my favorite ingredients. Gochujang is great for marinades and stews. I find that meats are really tender after I marinate them with gochujang. I think it works really well with pork, chicken, and seafood like monk fish, shrimp, and squid just to name a few. I've also used it to make dipping sauces and salad dressing. I personally wouldn't describe it as having a funkiness to it. Depending on how/when you use it, the paste can impart a sweet, spicy, and/or smokey flavor to a dish. I also really like gochugaru because it has a fruity/smoky aroma and flavor since it is made by drying the chilies in the sun. When combined together, gochujang and gochugaru are amazing. I recommend watching Maanchi's RU-vid channel because she frequently uses both, and did some videos talking about both ingredients and how to use them. I also really like the book, "Korean Cooking for Everyone" by Ji Sook Choe and Yukiko Moriyama. The book was published in 2003, but it does a great job of breaking down Korean recipes and ingredients.

Thank you for sharing! Bobby and Art. 👍😍

My husband & I are learning so much from you! Thank you! :-)

Hey guys! Happy Friday #FlavCityFam! 🥳🎉🎉

Gochujang (chili paste) and Gochugaru (chili powder) are used for making kimchi. As for 5-spice powder, you can by them in big bags at Chinese grocery stores if you can find one in your area. Even the small regular bag sells for just a dollar or so which is cheaper than buying it at the mainstream stores.

First as all the others have stated thanks so much for pushing us to relearn what we thought we knew! I’m nothing and Asian but feel like I can at least Caryonah conversation now. The first thing I did was check the pantry for the rooster Sriracha, sure enough that’s what I had. Heading over to Whole Foods… As I’ve stated before you are doing a such a service with your tutorials. Many many thanks Bobby and Art

Lots of good information. Thanks.

Gochujang is pretty awesome. I was doing Korean foods before I switched to low carb. I would go to the big grocery stores 1hr away to buy a medium big tub of gochujang, a small tub of black bean sauce & a medium gochugaru chili pepper flakes. The black beans were mainly for black bean noodles. Gochujang & Gochugaru I used for tofu, meat, kimchi(s), noodles and soups. For some reason Korean ingredients tend to have sugar. Perhaps it had to do with war days & making food taste better when it wasn't pristine. Korean Bapsang has good recipes. She's on IG & YT.

Gochujang can be added to any recipe really that you want to make spicy like Volcano Eggs, Soups, any kind of sauce. I love adding several teaspoons to my peanut sauce!

Once again, AWESOME!!

The arsenic levels in rice depend on where it is grown, just so you know. Some of the Lundberg is relatively way better than most other rice. Think geography and different types of soil compositions, it's really not all the same.

Hi Bobby. Thanks for the video. Can you make a video on stock cubes, and stock seasoning like bouillons?

Omg I love Gochujang!! I use it mostly in soups to add uph, look up maangchi on RU-vid for some great recipes! In Asian supermarkets you will see it in 3 different spice levels which is awesome because you can choose the level of heat to add to dishes

I use gochujang to marinate beef for stir fry. So yummy on crisp stir fry veggies as a dip too

I've used gochujang for my sweet chili sauce. I mix it with whatever broth I cooked the meat in, salt, pepper, garlic, honey, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and any combination of the fruits that normally go in duck sauce (peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, orange, whatever), simmer and blend. I also like making my own homemade tonkatsu-like sauce, it's very similar. I use rice wine, rice vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt pepper, five spice, onion, carrot, apple, and any other fruit I have around (same as above are all great), simmer then blend. Ideally I should brown the fruits and veggies so they caramelize a bit, but usually I don't bother.

Love your info I follow you learn so much .I wash my white rice before using cut down chemicals by 40%

My favorite way to use gochujang is making Bon Apetit’s slow roasted gochujang chicken and potatoes!

Great video. Very informative. Thanks

Gochujang is used for Kimchi, soups, and with ramen. Also used mixed with other things. Then, use as marinade.

Luv to see u do this on no salt low salt condiments

For the five spice powder, there are so many different formula. And we use it for seasoning food or stewing meat. I highly recommend it.

_great stuff! Love your videos!_

Love Asian flavors so thumbs up on this video. How about cooking an Asian dish?

The organic yellowbird sriracha is only sweetened with dates and delicious! Usually floating around produce or hot food bar at Whole Foods.

best health Channel out there 🙌

Gochujang is used in making Kimchi. You can get in in a powdered form and make into a paste omitting the wheat.

Love watching your videos, is your book at Costco ?? Heading over later would be much faster than amazon. Keep those video coming!!!❤️❤️

U rock man. It’s tricky to really know what’s good or bad wspeywith sneaky labels . So thank u 🙏

Could you chat about kimchi options in Whole Foods, Bobby? Thank you for all you do!!

Some tips for minimizing arsenic in rice: 1) soak overnight/change water 2) white rice has less arsenic than brown rice, 3) avoid american rice (most arsenic), go for thailand/pakistan rice (least arsenic) 4) most importantly cook the rice like pasta. Boil in lots of water and then drain the excess water. See Iranian rice for how to cook rice like pasta on youtube.

Love ur video thanks for tat saracha souce coz I mostly have chili sauce with my meal

Thanks for sharing Bobby. I was hoping you would cover a good chili and garlic sauce. Maybe next time

Bobby you can use Gochujang for mostly Korean dishes. It has that nice sweet and spicy taste to it. I sometimes like to dip it in Korean BBQ.

Thanks! A super informative video🥰👍😉😁

The chef I work for just put MSG on his shopping list 🤦🏻‍♀️ it’s so hard to teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks for the video Bobby! Love all the knowledge you share with us ❤️

Gochujang can be used in stir-fries, korean rice cake dish (tteokbokki), korean rice mix (kimbap), to marinate kimchi, so on and so forth. A bit daring to say, but it can replace sriracha.

Gochuhang is a daily sauce in our house; add to omelets, beef, chicken, potatoes, rice, and basically any meat staples, soups and main course dishes. We eat Asian-style with pick-your-own staples at each meal to accommodate allergies, diabetes, and special needs. Gochujang drops can add subtle flavors while tablespoons make some spicy wings for your Super Bowl party! Mmmm !!

From what I've learned about Calif.grown rice is that it hasn't been treated with arsenic the same way as was done in the past in the south. The same fields that grew cotton were treated with arsenic to rid the boll weavil (sp) Info on Lundberg rice is available on their website. Once the ground absorbs arsenic it's in there.

Love your t- sashimi!

You can use gochujang to marinate meats like chicken, pork, or sliced beef. You can add to soups like kimchi jigae, soondubu jigae, seafood soup, fried rice with kimchi, etc.

Hi Mr.Bobby, your vedios are nice. Thank you.I am from Sri lanka. We use lot of curry powder.(Asian curry powders) INGREDIENTS- Spices and Herbs (Coriander , Cumin , Turmeric, Cinnamon , Fenugreek , Fennel , Chilli , Mustard , Curry leaves , Ginger , Garcinia, Clove, pepper, Garlic, screw pine, Lemon grass,Cardamom)

Yay!!! THANK YOU💟💟💟

FYI being from minnesota - I cook my wild rice in my rice cooker. you just have to add a lot of water and cook it for 2 cycles :) But super simple and doesn't take as long .

Thank you so much awesome love it! ❤️

Great video! Do you already have a video about wine or making one soon?

I have Hashimoto's, so I do AIP and soy is on the do not eat list, as it's an endocrine disruptor. I've found if you mix coconut aminos (I prefer the Big Tree brand, which was on the shelf just underneath the one you chose) and Red Boat fish sauce, you get a great umami almost soy flavor. The combo is delicious in soups and just about everything else...add some toasted sesame oil and a little garlic to it and you have a teriyaki flavor and great dipping sauce.

I cut the wild rice 2/3 to 1/3 brown rice...for flavour and texture.

make your own seasoned rice vinegar (for sushi rice, dressing, etc) 2 cups rice vinegar, 1 1/2 cups cane sugar (I use 1 cup), 1 1/2 tbs salt (I use 1 tb), 1/8 of a lemon, juiced - then stir all ingredients into a saucepan, stir until sugar and salt have dissolved then bring to a simmer over low heat but do not allow to boil - remove from heat, allow to cool then store in frig - yum!

Great video...Loving all your content. Can you do a video on keto condiments and spices or is it listed in your cookbook???? Thanks you!!!

6:00 you can use gochujann as a suace/condiment for korean recipes like bibimbap

Bobby doing god's work, as usual

Gojuchang can be used for kimchi, kimchi stew, chicken marinades, maybe even bulgogi marinade etc.

Watching Bobbie making sweet potatoes fries yummy

THANK U BOBBY

Hi can you do a review of healthy products at Ranch 99 Asian market?

The arsenic levels aren't a concern unless you're eating TONS of rice. Brown rice IS higher, but there's certain regions (california being one of them) where the levels are lower, and you should rinse off the rice to further reduce the levels but it's really not an issue for most people.

Again thanks bobby for everithing god bless your family 🙏🙏🙏 thanks for puerto rico🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪

I’ve gone down the educational rabbit hole. Notating what to buy

As someone recently brought up , the black plastic caps are usually from recycled electronics, which usually contain heavy metals I've noticed that 365 brand mayo( made with vinegar) and 365 vinegar as well as Spectrum vinegar use these caps Furthermore, there is no liner. So the acidic content is able to leech from this non bpa plastic

this video old but yeah gochijang is good with rice cakes to make topokki. and also good with cold ramen noodles with some vinegar and seasame oil. also to mix with rice and kimchi.

Gochujang is amazing for stir frys and sauces

Gochujang with Bimbimbap!! best combo ever
