Preparing authentic Asian dishes can be a challenge. Recipes often require a long list of special ingredients that are time-consuming and costly to source. For those who want to enjoy the unmistakable flavour of Mapo Tofu, Bulgogi, or a rich curry at home without needing countless individual spices, high-quality ready-made sauces and seasoning pastes offer a convenient solution.
This guide introduces a selection of products that make it easy to prepare popular Asian dishes with authentic results. We focus on their objective features and applications to provide you with an informed basis for your decision when you want to buy Asian sauces.
The range of products is vast. To find the right sauce or paste for your needs, the following criteria can be helpful.
Some products are designed specifically for a single dish, such as a seasoning mix for Mapo Tofu. These contain all the necessary spice components in a balanced ratio. Other products, like universal meat marinades or versatile stir-fry sauces, offer more flexibility and can be used for a variety of recipes. Your choice depends on whether you want to replicate a specific dish or are looking for a base ingredient for creative culinary experiments.
Asian seasoning pastes are highly concentrated blends of herbs, spices, and aromatics. They often form the flavour base for curries or soups and typically need to be cooked with liquids like coconut milk or water. Seasoning powders are dry mixes that are well-suited for direct seasoning or for making marinades. Liquid ready-to-use Asian sauces are usually ready to go and can be used directly for marinating, glazing, or as a dip.
A close look at the ingredients is always advisable. Pay attention to the exact composition, especially if you or your guests have allergies. Common allergens in Asian products include soy, wheat (gluten), or shellfish (e.g., in shrimp paste). The order of the ingredients also provides insight into the product's primary flavour drivers.
Here you will find a curated selection of products that make cooking authentic Asian dishes easier.

The shelf life after opening varies by product and composition. Generally, liquid sauces and pastes should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within a few weeks to months. Dry seasoning mixes last longer when stored in a cool, dry place. Always follow the manufacturer's specific instructions on the packaging.
Yes, many marinades are excellent for vegetarian alternatives. A Bulgogi sauce, for example, can enhance tofu, seitan, or firm vegetables like aubergines and mushrooms. However, it is important to check the ingredient list, as some products may contain non-vegetarian components like shrimp paste or fish sauce.
A seasoning paste is typically a thick, concentrated mixture of ground spices, herbs, and other aromatics. It often needs to be sautéed in oil and simmered with a liquid (e.g., water, broth, coconut milk) to release its full flavour and create a sauce. A sauce is usually a more liquid, ready-to-use preparation used as a marinade, dip, or to directly finish dishes.
