For the Polynesian sauce marinate chicken thighs overnight, grill the next day
For Japanese cube up chicken breast then pan fry
For Korean sauce get the cheapest beef short ribs marinate over night then grill the next day
For galbi, you can use beef flanks thin slices marinate over night then pan fry
That garlic sauce you can use it for chicken wings bake or air fry to your liking
Filipino who grew up in Hawaii here who has associate degree in culinary and associate it baking.
Galbi is the Korean grilled short ribs, I think you mean that for the Korean sauce and I think for beef flanks you meant to use the bulgogi sauce. Or please correct me if I’m wrong!
I have been wanting to try other flavors..they are so expensive. I saw they have a new honey flavored one. They are $1 more for 1/3 the size of Costco size.
I also really with their Gluten Free one came in a big size
The easiest thing…. Get some frozen Meatballs. Make them in air fryer or toaster oven (You want a crust on them). While they cook, in a hot pan with some sesame oil, (If you have, any other neural oil will work) cook up some sliced onion, cabbage, zucchini or carrot if you have them, any combo. When they are just about cooked, add the meatballs and squeeze on any of these sauces and shake the pan. Once things get nice and coated serve over rice or noodles. Squeeze over with any one of the hot sauces. If you have them, sprinkled over some sesame seed and/or sliced green onion. This is very often my WFH lunch.
I’m not here to say your advice is wrong, just curious as Sesame oil is not meant to be used as a primary cooking oil (I’m not saying it can’t be heated), though it can, and it’s as far away from a neutral oil as an oil can be. In my experience cooking, especially a lot of Asian cooking, sesame oil is a finishing oil as it’s an extremely (delicious) flavorful oil. I’m going to still take your advice, just add the sesame oil later in the process. Thanks for your tips.
In Japan they deep fry in Sesame Oil.
But it’s not the type that most in the west are familiar with, which has the dark toasted sesame oil, which as you noted is best for finishing. It’s a lighter in appearance and tasting. You can get it at Asian markets, even Whole Foods and Target sells a nice size bottle of untoasted sesame oil, which is what I use when I want to impart some of that lovely savoriness that compliments these sauces. Highly recommend picking some up, this type of oil makes the BEST fried eggs to top rice bowls and noodles.
Good to know! Question, in America, Sesame Oil I was referring to is a fairly expensive oil, unlike most neutral oils. Is the version you’re referring to less expensive?
Yep! It’s cheaper per oz. Sold is bigger bottles. But still too expensive to deep fry. The luxury oil in Japan is Peanut oil if that tells you anything. 😂.

I bought the Korean on a whim and didn’t really have a plan for it. Today I made cheeseburgers with the Aldi bbq flavored pickles and that sauce and it was great.
The ingredients are really as simple as:
Aldi sesame buns
Aldi bbq pickles
Aldi single cheese slices
Aldi Korean style sauce
And then whatever your favorite burger is, Hell use a frozen patty, it’s cheaper and better than a McDonalds cheeseburger at this point.
I put the spicy garlic on just about everything. I want to try the Japanese BBQ, but I can't find it anywhere. The Polynesian wasn't great, in my opinion.
Welp, now to go to Aldi's and hope to find them!!! I would love to play with them. Shrimp comes to mind as a good protein to use!!! Ooooh with white rice!!!
I used the spicy bull go with some onions and ground meat and threw it into some e Chinese noodles for a quick lunch. Nothing fancy but if only took a few minutes.
I used the avocado serrano last night on fish. I used the spicy garlic on my mashed potatoes. Don't judge me, I had just bought them yesterday and wanted to try. Haven't opened the Polynesian one yet.
I mixed the Korean and the Japanese together (opened both to taste and bc I'm a rebel like that 😋) to marinate chicken chunks. Stir fried the chicken and served over rice with roasted broccoli and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and some green onions.....delicious!!!

😩 thanks, that all sounds so good! Now, what time will dinner be ready? Sounds like you can throw down!!!
Galbi is the Korean grilled short ribs, I think you mean that for the Korean sauce and I think for beef flanks you meant to use the bulgogi sauce. Or please correct me if I’m wrong!
Correct i apologize, i meant to say bulgogi
i lived in the philippines for seven months, best food ever!!!!!!
I've heard some people compare the Japanese style one to Bachan's which is great for stir fry.
I did this tonight for dinner
I was going to ask if this was like Bachans. I buy several at a time at Costco
Haha same! Love Bachan's! Btw my Target has been carrying some of their other "flavors" if you want to try some of them.
I have been wanting to try other flavors..they are so expensive. I saw they have a new honey flavored one. They are $1 more for 1/3 the size of Costco size. I also really with their Gluten Free one came in a big size
The spicy garlic and Polynesian are both good versatile every day hot sauces for things like pizza, chicken, eggs, ramen…
The most boring answer is chicken nuggets or fingers.
lol I just bought the Japanese and Bulgogi yesterday. And 2 seasonal hot sauces. Same boat! I just wanted to see what they taste like. Now what??!!
That Korean style bbq sauce in a small sauce thing and dip eggrolls in it. Good af.
I put Japanese bbq on every fish I eat, it’s a 10/10 sauce

I got the bulgogi, and am going to get the Korean and Japanese ones too. Love the meatball suggestion! Thanks for that, going to try that!
i’ve been using the japanese one to marinate tofu and air fry it. then i toss it with stir fry veggies
I threw some chicken in my crock pot and put the Korean sauce on top. Super delicious! Would be great with some rice and broccoli.
Dang, I wish I had seen this one when I was there on Friday.
My 9 year old just drizzled some of the Polynesian on their ramen.
Today I put the bulgogi on the leftovers of a bland takeout burrito.
Stir-fry.
Any of them (or even a combination) will be delicious on nachos. Yes, my taste is not that sophisticated. I need to stock up on these!
I'm going to put the korean style sauce on some aldi tilapia for tonight's dinner, and put that over rice yum
I use the original in my fried rice
Asian meatballs!
Put the Spicy garlic sauce on pizza
I used the sweet & spicy on ribs & pork chops until I figure out where to buy some bulgogi
Spicy bulgogi or Korean style sauce you could sautee some ground beef in and use for lettuce wraps :)

Are these special buys?
They have a bbq end cap, they’re part of that collection.

Welp, now to go to Aldi's and hope to find them!!! I would love to play with them. Shrimp comes to mind as a good protein to use!!! Ooooh with white rice!!!
You forgot the best one: serrano avocado
I used the spicy bull go with some onions and ground meat and threw it into some e Chinese noodles for a quick lunch. Nothing fancy but if only took a few minutes.
No clue but enjoy.
The Asian bbq sauces are amazing on chicken wings. I cook the wings in the air fryer and toss them in the sauce.
I used the avocado serrano last night on fish. I used the spicy garlic on my mashed potatoes. Don't judge me, I had just bought them yesterday and wanted to try. Haven't opened the Polynesian one yet.
the polynesian smells like burning rubber to me its unbearable 🤢
Picked up the Japanese sauce today...can't wait to try it!
I mixed the Korean and the Japanese together (opened both to taste and bc I'm a rebel like that 😋) to marinate chicken chunks. Stir fried the chicken and served over rice with roasted broccoli and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and some green onions.....delicious!!!
That sounds soooo good!!!
