If you’re a Costco shopper, chances are you’ve put Yoshida sauce in your cart one time or another. So, now…what to do with it?
So, there is this sauce so many of us buy from Costco. It’s a huge, huge bottle. Why do we buy it? Because we heard it’s great. But then it takes up so much real estate in the fridge…and you wonder, ‘Just why did I buy this Yoshida?’
Although it is available in smaller bottles, it was the Costco one that really got me. And also got me stuck with a huge bottle.
First, what is Yoshida sauce? It’s similar to Teriyaki, but a bit sweeter. You can easily replace it with teriyaki and some honey.
It’s used mostly use it for stir-fries, over salmon (sprinkle with sesame seeds), or anywhere you would use teriyaki sauce.
Here are some dishes I’ve made using the sauce:
Portobello Mushroom Salad
Cut up portobello mushrooms into chunks; place in baking pan. Pour Yoshida sauce over mushrooms. Cover and bake in the oven until mushrooms shrink. In a bowl combine spinach leaves, baked mushrooms, and chopped sweet nuts. For the dressing, mix some of the sauce with any mayo-based dressing – such as Caesar. Toss with salad.
Yoshida Flanken or Ribs
Mix ¼ cup orange juice, ¼ cup ketchup, and ½ cup Yoshida sauce. Pour over ribs or flanken in a 9×13-inch pan. Cover very tightly. Bake at 350ºF until soft (2-3 hours or more).
Yoshida Green Beans
On a greased baking sheet, toss green beans with a cube of frozen sauteed onions, some Yoshida sauce, salt and pepper. Roast until crispy on edges.
Do you use this sauce? What do you do with it?
That’s really funny about putting it into your cart if you shop in Costco even if you have no idea what to do with it. Thank you for the good ideas! Now well actually do something with it!
I love to marinate oyster steaks, London broil, or any steaks ! So delish and easy!
I’m going to have to try those ribs! They sound great!
Toshiba sauce is a staple in my house. I use it on fish, chicken and meat..
A favorite of mine is mixing yoshida sauce with toasted sesame oil and pouring on cooked angel hair pasta to make the easiest sesame pasta. Use toasted seeds on top.
I like to mix my Toshiba sauce with Apple sauce…
Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
We mix it with montreal steak seasoning then marinate chicken or steak. Best grilled!!
Ummm. I never keep it in the fridge. Lasts months in my pantry. Together with the ketchup. Mustard and bbq sauce. Reason it lasts months is because we only use sugar sauces for very special occasions otherwise it wldnt last us months….
I marinate boneless skinless chicken thighs overnight in Mr. Yoshida’s and then grill them. I then slice them and serve over steamed calrose rice and then pour a bit more sauce over the chicken and rice. It is a life changing dish that is one of my all time favorite things. Not very healthy due to the high fructose corn syrup and high glycemic index of the white rice, but this is so cravable that sometimes you just need to treat yourself.
Heinz bought out Yoshida’s gourmet sauce a few years ago. I have used this for years but could no longer find this product being sold anywhere….so I called Heinz and they said they are no long manufacturing this product!! What a shame.
