Sempio Braised Chicken Sauce is for making andong jjimdak, which is a famous braised chicken and vegetable Korean dish. Sempio’s sauce is mainly made with soy sauce and some seasonings such as salt, garlic, ginger, hot pepper extract, fermented soy bean extract, etc. It doesn’t have MSG or synthetic preservatives. Simply cook this sauce with chicken and other vegetables to make a great main dish. The flavor of this sauce is good enough to replace to homemade sauce. It is very easy to use and delicious. You can find this product in a big Korean market, Sempio’s website, or Amazon.

YounDoo is a natural liquid seasoning made by Sempio. It does not contain any animal ingredients, making it suitable for vegetarians. I recently discovered this treasure when Sempio sent me a sample. Without any prior knowledge or expectations, I tried it in one of my side dishes. The results were a pleasant surprise, so I have been doing more experimenting with it. My husband calls it “magic juice” because it makes everything taste better. (Just don’t drink it like a beverage.) LOL
This is gourmet seasoning sauce. It is naturally brewed soy sauce added with the boiled down natural sauce from cooking onions, ginger, garlic, pears, apples, beef, etc. This one is specially good for soup or stew. I already tried it for my seaweed soup. I basically made the soup in the same way, but reduced the normal soy sauce amount and added some of this seasoning in place of the missing soy sauce. It turned out pretty good, so I’m going to use it for different kinds of soups and stews later. You can think of it like this – in a well flavored dish, you can add extra flavor to make it even more tasty. Sometimes if you don’t have enough time to make your own broth, as many of my recipes ask for, you can get a similar flavoring from simply using this seasoning sauce. It is a shortcut for a quick and easy dish. Hehe, that doesn’t mean skip making broth all of the time though, because making your own broth give you the best flavor for your dish. =P Anyway, I was happy about the result, so try it someday if you can find it in a Korean grocery store. This is especially for soup and stew. It has seafood extract in it, you will not like this particular flavor of sauce if you are a vegetarian or do like seafood.
Condensed milk is not usual for Korean cuisine. But it can be used for some dessert like PotBingSu, or bakery products.
