Those vegan shrimp are GREAT when you marinate them overnight! I make my marinade with crushed up nori and spirulina powder, a bit of olive oil, soy, white pepper and some garlic powder. You just fry 'em up in the pan as normal after the marinade, though I also add some herb butter and lemon juice to them.
@@karensullivan6445 Not sure about spirulina, but you can buy regular old nori sheets pretty much everywhere and crush them yourself. Asian grocers might sell it pre crushed.
I've been vegan for 5 years now and you're the first channel I've found that isn't "vegan" but trying the vegan alternatives from a non biased POV and actually putting the effort in to making them taste good!

Much love from Vancouver Island, Canada
Aww thank you so much!!!!! I love cooking plant based foods! Its soo wild what can be done and how much farther we can go with it.. its just exciting! Thanks again, you honestly made my day
Asian veganism usually including the absence of any kind of garlic/onion/any other related alium, this explain your curiosity about vegan seasoning. it is so because they're vegan due to their religion, which is Buddhism. some of the Buddhist commit to become vegan to control the animal side of human, and as garlic is aphrodisiac, they tend to raise human libido. regardless the absence of garlic & onion, I think the taste of those food are quite surprisingly good. hope this help
Dear friend, If you want to replace oinion, use reddish, use ginger instead of garlic. You must experiment because each recipe is different. Namh shivay.
@@SauceStache did the baked one mush in the mouth as well? I want to try the smoked drumsticks so bad but I would like to consider texture before I try cooking methods. I like a crisp firm texture. Thanks for your videos🤗
The last time I tried the faux shrimp, the texture was so accurate it felt odd as I chewed. Also, the vegan wings are amazing when prepared correctly. I have no idea what the correct way of preparing them is, but if you visit Oakland, I bet the folks at Aburaya could fill you in. (Hint, hint. Come visit.)
I've had ALOT of Asian mock meats living in Malaysia. I can assure you the "vegan seasoning" is definitely MSG. Which I personally don't have a problem with. It makes the products taste very meaty.
wow! after seeing this I went back to my local Asian market. Had been there before but didn't recall seeing all that much. This time they had a whole vegan section. OMG there was so much to try. picked up the shrimp, the bacon, some lemon chicken, vegetarian wontons and a bunch of other stuff. TY for that. I now have a whole bunch of new products to try. am excited. tried the bacon and it's good. very similar to the Lightlife brand. Oh and I also picked up a bag of the Asian MSG. am looking fw to trying it. I agree that you should do another video where you use these in a meal.. with sauce, rice and veggies or something and see how they do.
omg i love that brand. i have made scampi angel hair pasta with garlic and sauteed tomatoes on top and shrimp and yellow rice. and ive put them in alfredo pastas. love love love./. for shrimp po boys though, there's another brand found at sprouts that's breaded and i use them for that recipe all the time. look for sophie's kitchen. (they also have breaded crab cakes and filets althought my fav is the gardein fish filets for fish tacos yumm
I just ordered lobster mushrooms. I can’t wait for them to arrive. I am doing a lobster roll, lobster Mac and cheese, lobster bisque and lobster mashed potatoes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Lobster mushroom, Hypomyces lactifluorum, contrary to its common name, is not a mushroom, but rather a parasitic ascomycete fungus that grows on certain species of mushrooms, turning them a reddish orange color that resembles the outer shell of a cooked lobster
tanisha stevenson omg lobster bisque was one of my favorite things! though I only had it once, maybe twice. it would be a dream come true to have a vegan version of that. 😍 do you mind sharing the recipe? or a link to it 😃❤
The bacon definitely is better deep fried we use it at the restaurant I work at and it is much better that way , we often put it in soups and on burgers
Surprised you didn't try the vegan duck. That's pretty dang good. (Btw I'm not a vegan). I would have just pan fried the chicken in some oil. I think it's a tofu like product and the steaming is what would have given it that mushy texture. Also not sure why you evaluated the smell before cooking them. I don't know of one real raw meat product I would say smells good. In any case I like your content. Keep em coming.
I saw a few videos of people steaming them first... but like you said I do wish I would have just fried them or baked them right away! I only evaluated the smell because they all had a pretty bad/odd odor. Nothing like I’ve smelled in a meat product honestly! And thank you!!
Lamyong is the gold standard for asian meat substitutes in Australia. Not sure if they sell outside. They have like 4-5 sub brands so even if it doesn't say Lamyong, it might be. But yeah, give your asian grocery a try, you might be shocked by the variety of stuff.
Those Asian vegan chicken drumsticks (made out of wheat or soy protein or something?) are the best. They're a little sweet. (Not sure if you got that kind, but something close to it.) I don't think they're too accurate, but they're my favorite kind of seitan out there.
The same brand has meat pieces that are about 1 in. Marinate in a Filipino pork sauce and fry for 10 minutes or until crispy on a cast iron and thank me afterwards 😎
So these are all by "All Vegetarian Inc" But I have seen the same products under different brands. Another common brand is called VEG E Brand. Let me know if you find them and try them!
There's a different brand of drumstick similar to those that have a sugarcane bone and "skin" and are my new favorite thing currently. I discovered them at my local Asian market a few months back. My first experience with them I used the air fryer, once crispy transfer to a pan and tossed with a barbecue sauce and cooked till the sauce was reduced and they were fully glazed, all sticky and delicious. I can't get over how good it is! 😋🍗❤
I’d definitely like to see you try more meat substitutes, I’m always curious to try them myself but I’ve never found very good ones, all the ones I’ve tried are mushy and end up going to waste because i don’t like them.
I'll tell ya the chicken was that mushy kinda feeling... but the bacon and shrimp were honestly pretty good! I think I will do more of these!!! There is so much out there to try!! Thank you
I drive 135 miles to get to the closest asian market. My favorite frozen vegan "meat" is a Kung Pow Chicken that is BOMB! I also tried the vegan shrimp but I wasn't impressed at all. ALSO....plain old yellow mustard works the best for burns. No blisters, no pain....just goes away. Squirt some on the burn, let it dry on there. I used to get gnarly burns from blowing glass. Mustard is a miracle. Thanks for your videos.....love them!
In my local grocery store (Publix) in the freezer section, I was introduced to a product called Quorn. Oh my goodness it's delicious. Being a past meat eater, I am always looking for that flavor. This has it.
If you put those vegan shrimps on a pizza I woulden't even realize that they are fake well not actually fake because it's still food but you know what I ment
If these are from May Wah, that's specific to NYC. They do offer shipping from their website though. I live in Ann Arbor, MI. I think I've been to every Asian market, and I've only ever found tofu variations- nothing in the way of meat replicas.
These are from Dong A and Phuoc Loc Tho in Orlando Florida! All of our Asian markets carry a version of these! After a bit of research it seemed like a lot of them do, but I'm sure not all!
Gringamalteca I’m from Miami and all of the Asian markets carry hella meat replacements. They even have mock duck. I frequent Toronto a lot as well and there are vegan Chinese restaurants with chicken,pork, duck and even fish. Also Atlanta has some vegan Chinese places. It’s very interesting.
@@antigua26 I guess it's probably more metropolitan areas. Ann Arbor is big because of the University, but it's not a hun like NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, LA, LV ect....
Hmm.... How can i help to make this channel blow up? I tell you, This right here is a quality youtuber! Keep it up sauce stache!!! Dont let the youtube algorithm beat your quality>quantity channel!!
There’s a company in Austin TX called PLOW distribution and they distribute all of the all vegetarian inc products like these. The vegan market in this area is saturated with these! It’s so cool going to different restaurants and seeing how they use the products.
My local one has something they call "vegetarian meat replacement lotus ham" and then flavours ham, chicken and bacon. It's vegan and one of my favourite things ever!
Awesome video! And drumsticks are excellent but I think they either bake them or deep fry them and not steam them. I look forward to trying that bacon alternative and you're diakon radish alternative! That vegan shrimp that they sell, that particular one is probably the best kind of get texture wise! The Loving Hut restaurants use those same drumsticks and Veggie prawns.
i follow that company on IG and there you can see more prep instructions. he said to boil it before you fry. i would boil, then grill and then sauté! yum
Your reviews are honest and spot on, I felt the same way about those drum sticks, I’ve tried seasoning and marinating them in different ways, the best one was marinated in BBQ sauce and another with a garlic butter balsamic glaze (it actually disguised the sweet flavor of the drumstick and turned out a lot better than I thought. The idea to do a balsamic glaze came out of desperation trying EVERYTHING to season these drumsticks after spending an arm and a leg on them). Sorry this comment is long but years ago I tried this same wing) from a certain place that did a Buffalo style wing style with the vegan drumstick and it was VERY good. Sigh, I’m just trying to find different ways to make this drumstick taste better and feed the fam vegan style, any tips or advice would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you!! And thank you for all you do 💕
Pepperoni n sausage n mushroom n bellpepper New York style pizza with awesome cheese gotta get A pizza haven't seen one yet also Philly cheese steaks n lamb gyros some badass street food there with off the chain seasoned fries.
I would highly suggest breading the "shrimp.' Shrinp and clams were the last meats I gave up 30 years ago. Caramelised barbecue sauce on both the shrimp and drumsticks would be great. I really hate maple syrup on savoury foods. I'd love to grind it up and make a ham salad type sandwich spread with the one you used.
There’s a kosher brand that makes mock seafood. They have the typical mock crab, but also mock lobster, shrimp and scallops. The scallops are by far the best especially cooked scampi style.
I use the unseasoned Asian frozen faux drumsticks to make fried chicken legs. I don’t steam them. I use flax egg and seasoned gluten free flour , and fry in rice bran oil. I season my flour with, paprika, garlic, black pepper, summer savory, cumin, and accent.
Loved the video! Those shrimp look pretty good.i would add some kinda dried sea kelp or nori as a spice though. I wanna see you do a vegan chicken wing though.
Thanks for sharing your vegan food trys🤗 it helps to get an honest opinion on some of these products. I'd like to see how the shrimp would hold up in a nice stir fry or fried rice with the Just egg?
Cant hardly wait to be near a decent Asain market when we move back to Ohio. .. several in Columbus i LOVE. I will def look up some of these foods. Eap the bacon 🥓 😂. Stillll. I def want to get Diakon Radish and give that a go. Personally i really liked the egg plant bacon. But. Def need to soak in salty water firter to remove the bitterness... great show. Thanks for sharing and reviewing ✌️😊👍
Hey Sauce Stache, I know you probably won't read this comment but I had an interesting suggestion, why not you take the Lion's mane mushroom, Lobster mushroom and seaweed, turn it into a very thin sauce and toss the Asian market shrimp in that before frying to mask the processed smell.
@@SauceStache It was Go Vegan Grill just outside of Atlanta. Their shrimp looks similar too. It's probably another brand though, or they make it themselves in a similar process, because I think the "bone" in the wings was just a wooden skewer.
I need the company for those wings. My local veg shop has these with buffalo sauce. It does the trick if you roast them for a while. I want to but them from the source.
I think a lot of places uses the veg chk’n’ and it’s breaded and pretty sure fried, or they add a buffalo sauce. It’s usually not mushy to me but more fiber like texture. When flavored it’s very good to me. But again I’m not sure if it’s the same one, looks like it though. The shrimp thing looks disgusting to me, but when I was an omnivore so many years ago I hated the stuff anyway, so. Thanks for reviewing, this is the first time I hear of the baco’n’, I’ll keep my eyes open for it. 🌱✌🏼
Those vegan shrimp are GREAT when you marinate them overnight! I make my marinade with crushed up nori and spirulina powder, a bit of olive oil, soy, white pepper and some garlic powder.

Yeah the stigma around msg comes from racism anyway and msg tastes great
Totally agree msg rocks besides American jerky n chips is msg who is whitey talking about.
The Drumsticks and Shrimp in this video are MSG-free, and still taste amazing!
Also, using a little sesame oil to fry up the "vacon" will help with the flavor and crisping.
So smart!! Thank you for the tip!!!

Cant hardly wait to be near a decent Asain market when we move back to Ohio. .. several in Columbus i LOVE. I will def look up some of these foods. Eap the bacon 🥓 😂. Stillll. I def want to get Diakon Radish and give that a go. Personally i really liked the egg plant bacon. But. Def need to soak in salty water firter to remove the bitterness... great show. Thanks for sharing and reviewing ✌️😊👍
where did you buy theses. I saw the company on Instagram.
Wait...you can put shrimp on a sandwich?? I may have to try that
Imagine breading and frying up that shrimp 😮😍
thanks dude!
These videos are uprising for me. Sauce stache is op.
Would you say the Pea protein chicken you made was better than this one you tried?
Sauce stache!!!!!!!!!!!! Noti gang!
YES!!!
Almost to 100k!!!! You should be at a million your so detailed and entertaining to watch me and my son love you!!!!!!
AWWW Thank you!!! That means so much to me!
You need to batter the shrimp,and deep fried them to taste better, also with the chicken too, season to taste.
Can you show us how to make wings like those?
Hey Sauce Stache, I know you probably won't read this comment but I had an interesting suggestion, why not you take the Lion's mane mushroom, Lobster mushroom and seaweed, turn it into a very thin sauce and toss the Asian market shrimp in that before frying to mask the processed smell.
Hey .. I was wondering on what Asian market did you bought the vegan 🌱 shrimp ?
Dong A on mills! It’s my go to spot
I had really good vegan wings at a restaurant in Atlanta that looked similar. I wonder if these come close.
There is a restaurant in Atlanta that uses these wings and bacon in their food! I wonder if its the same restaurant!
@@SauceStache It was Go Vegan Grill just outside of Atlanta. Their shrimp looks similar too. It's probably another brand though, or they make it themselves in a similar process, because I think the "bone" in the wings was just a wooden skewer.
Please do a video how to cook beleaf hotdog
I need the company for those wings. My local veg shop has these with buffalo sauce. It does the trick if you roast them for a while. I want to but them from the source.
Please make the praws and chicken wings.....please..😃😃
You deff should fry the chicken. I've had them before here in Atlanta at a restaurant and they taste so good if seasoned well and fried up
I think a lot of places uses the veg chk’n’ and it’s breaded and pretty sure fried, or they add a buffalo sauce. It’s usually not mushy to me but more fiber like texture. When flavored it’s very good to me. But again I’m not sure if it’s the same one, looks like it though. The shrimp thing looks disgusting to me, but when I was an omnivore so many years ago I hated the stuff anyway, so. Thanks for reviewing, this is the first time I hear of the baco’n’, I’ll keep my eyes open for it. 🌱✌🏼
