Seasoning & Herbs: The Must-Have Aromatics for True Asian Cooking

At the crux of great Asian cooking lie the quality seasonings and herbs building up the complex flavors and aromatic depths. We have selected for you this signature combination combining traditional Asian cooking wine with versatile seasoning blends and specialized preserved ingredients to turn the simplest of dishes into restaurant-quality culinary experiences.

Essential Cooking Wines & Sake

Umai Cooking Sake is that linchpin in Japanese cooking, the necessary alcohol for tenderizing proteins and taking fishy odors out of marinades, glazes and braises while adding that hint of sweetness. Authentic as cooking sake can get, it brings everything from teriyaki chicken to miso soup to that level of traditional underpinnings that professional Japanese chefs reach for to develop just that flavor; teriyaki chicken can be miso soup.

Premium Stock & Broth Bases

Knorr Vegetable Stock Cubes are perfect umami depths ideal for vegetarians in Asian culinary preparations. These cubes melt right through in cooking to give rich taste, which is ideal for all noodle soups, congee, stir-fry bases.

International Spices Mixed

Urban Platter's artisanal collection has Lemon Pepper Seasoning Mix, which combines zesty citrus with bold black pepper for Asian fusion dishes, grilled seafood, and stir-fried vegetables. The Jamaican Jerk Seasoning by them augurs Caribbean heat and spice for creating exciting fusion possibilities in combination with Asian cooking techniques and ingredients.

Specialty Preserved Vegetables

The whole Mediterranean range by Aleyna opens up Asian cooking possibilities, such as with Jalapeño Olive Salad for fusion tacos and grains bowls, smoky sweet additions to stir-fries and noodle dishes with Red Roasted Peppers, Sliced Red Jalapeño Peppers for controlled heat and terrific color, and Garlic Salad in Vinegar that gives ready-to-use, intense aromatic garlic with the sourness at the back.

Cooking with Asian Seasonings & Herbs

Cooking sake early into the cooking process gives time to allow alcohol evaporations while letting flavors concentrate and penetrate ingredients. Stock cubes dissolve well into hot water before adding to dishes for an equal distribution of flavor throughout soups and braised dishes.

Dry seasoning blends make for the best rubs on grilled proteins or finishing touches on completed dishes, while preserved vegetables can add flavor and texture instantly without additional cooking time. These seasonings are perfect with our soy sauce collection, chili oils, and fresh aromatics to layer true Asian flavor.
