This chef recommends Yondu Vegetable Umami
As a chef and food writer I get to hear about lots of food products and that how I first heard about Yondu. At the time I was about to start teaching a new online Vegetarian cookery course , so I bought the 150ml bottle on Amazon to give it a try and was really pleased. I use it first in a live demonstration to make a vegan stir fry and was very please with the flavour of the Yondu and how the Umami seasoning enhanced the flavours of the ingredients. I also used it to intensify the flavour of a wild mushroom ragout I served with creamy polenta mash. Of course it is a big plus that Yondu is organic, plant based ( made from fermented vegetables which is good for gut health). I'm also happy Yondu is totally free from Genetically Modified ingredients, which seems to be in too many products these days! Made in South Korea and vegan friendly, I would highly recommend Yondu-Vegetable Umami. It has become very popular in America and is beginning to get better known in the UK. Not always available... I'm guessing because the producers are finding hard to keep up with demand. I wish it were a little cheaper, but there again it lasts a long time since you don't need to add much to enhance your dishes. If you open my fridge you will find some in the door.

Yondu is a fantastic sauce.
I have to say this is a delicious and amazing sauce. It has a more distinguishable flavor than normal. I used this sauce on fried rice, salad and pasta by adding a couple of teaspoons. It tasted fantastic. My family loved them and it made our meal more enjoyable. The ingredients are especially reliable and healthy with organic soybean and vegetables. The bottle is easy to pour and prevents leaking. You can use it in any food. It’s appropriate for people with any level in cooking and makes you a professional cook even if you’re only a beginner. I’m so happy I can buy this on Amazon. I would highly recommend it if you are in any need of soy sauce that can boost your flavor in your cooking.

Softer more nuanced umami taste.
Yondu Vegetable Umami Essence combines fermented soy and vegetable stock. it adds a softer more nuanced umami taste than for instance an aged soy-sauce. Hence, is a versatile condiment that is useful in a range of dishes. It isn't cheap but is economical in use. At 15% sodium, I would like to see a reduced sodium option. Hence four stars

I always keep 2 bottles of yondu sauce. It goes with every food.
I've used this sauce since after I was in Korea. this sauce is very famouse in Korea. Many people use this when they cook at home. The flavor is neither stong nor weak. It just give a final touch to the food to transform it very delicious. Now I can not cook without this. That's why I usually keep this 2 bottles. It's especially match with most types of Chinese, Japanese and Korean foods. Simply similar with soy bean. But it's more than that. Less salty than soy bean. Healthier than that. I highy recommend this to people who try asian food. You just pour a spoon of Yondu to your food then it will deepen the flavor of your food.

Wonderful and Unique
I cannot define the actual flavour but wow this is yummy. It seems to go with everything that is vegetable and fish related. The one thing I have found is that you do not need lots of it, probably a teaspoon or two, to lift what you are eating to another level. Try it, if you can, and yes I know it is expensive, but worth it.

A great find for a Veggie kitchen - or any.
I was very pleased to find this. Although I cook a lot, this was something I'd not heard of before, but thanks to some of the other reviewers I investigated and placed an order. The flavour is rather like the fermented Soy Sauce type - Shoyu - but is a little more than that, with other Vegetable flavours. I've only tried it once so far but it certainly made my stir-fry very tasty. I shall certainly try it for flavouring Soy Mince or Chunks because, with the best will in the world, they do need a little help and this will do the trick. I've used Shoyu before but think this may be even better. I liked the clever packaging which uses only cardboard with no plastic tape of any kind and they even include a little recipe book. It's good value too. Highly recommended.

I wish I knew this product years ago!
I've heard about these types of products before, but I always had doubts with them since it feels like just extra ingredients that I don't need in general. However when I saw this on Amazon, I was like... maybe I should give it a go, it sounds very healthy and nice, why not? And it's been about a month since I bought Yondu and I've been adding it to every cuisines I make at home which makes every food taste even better! I am quite amazed by how small amount of Yondu gives the food nice, gentle umami and deep flavour. It doesn't change the original food's flavour at all, it just makes it much delicious! The bottle is quite big enough so that I believe I can use it for a while, but I'm definitely going to buy again once I use it all :) Definitely worth to try!

Expensive but amazing
Quite salty but not in an overpowering way. Much better than questionable MSG (is MSG safe or not? At least with this you know it's all natural) but very similar in taste, if a little more subtle. Enables some really quick and simple, healthy meals and comes with a great looking recipes booklet I will try. Ideal for vegetarians and vegans.

Unica
Buonissima provata finalmente ieri. Arriva confezionata benissimo in una scatolina di carta con all'interno il prodotto con attaccato un etichetta con scritto gli ingredienti in lingua italiana. La sua composizione è salutare senza zucchero o altri conservanti nocivi. È un prodotto che dà sapore ai piatti e allo stesso tempo fa bene alla flora batterica dell'intestino. Non è una salsa di soia classica ma di colore molto più chiaro e il sapore simile alla soia ma delicato. Aggiornamento Ricomprata agosto 2024 meravigliosa come sempre ho preso infatti la misura un po' più grande

Mucho sabor
Está muy bien, pero el pequeño lo recomendaría si se quiere probar. A mí se me ha quedado en nada. El mediano va muy bien para cocinar dura más
