sweet soy sauce
A perfect culinary storm resulted me in buying and trying this new condiment. First my friend emailed me about his mother's bami (Filipino stir-fried noodles), then I ran out of hoisin sauce, then I went to the Asian grocery and they were out of hoisin sauce, and the jar of fermented soybean sauce that I bought in lieu of the hoisin turned out to be unsealed. Lots of this type of thing in the Asian grocery, alas. Fortunately, I had also bought a nice bottle of Lee Kum Kee Sweet Soy Sauce. What can I say? It's thick, sweet, soy-ey, salty, and loaded with MSG. Um, so good on vegetarian dumplings and stirfried (what else) zucchini and hot peppers.
