The Allrecipes Allstars have spoken, and their favorite grocery item of the year is none other than Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce. This versatile condiment has been dubbed the “Best Condiment for Everything,” surpassing even the classic mayonnaise in its popularity among foodies. Known for its deep savory taste with notes of soy, ginger, garlic, and mirin, this barbecue sauce is a must-have in any kitchen.
Previously available at retailers like Costco, Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce is now making its way to Aldi shelves. Shoppers can now easily grab a bottle while browsing through Aldi’s aisles, making it even more accessible to fans of this beloved condiment. Whether you’re looking to use it as a marinade, stir-fry sauce, or a finishing touch on your favorite dish, Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce is sure to elevate your cooking game.
For those who have tried Aldi’s $3 dupe, Burman’s Asian Style Japanese BBQ Sauce, you may notice that Bachan’s has a thinner consistency. If you prefer a thicker sauce for coating dishes like glazed chicken thighs or lo mein noodles, simply simmer a portion of the sauce until it reaches your desired thickness. Alternatively, you can make a cornstarch slurry and gradually whisk it in to achieve the perfect consistency.
Priced at around $8 for a 17-ounce bottle, Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce is a worthwhile investment for any food enthusiast. Just remember to store it in the refrigerator once opened to prevent spoilage. Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the flavor sensation that has captivated the Allstars – pick up a bottle of Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce on your next trip to Aldi and discover why it’s a top choice among food lovers everywhere.
