Lee Kum Kee’s #3SecretsToLevelUpSarap of Filipino Cooking

When I was a child, my aunt used to cook these delicious Chinese Pancit, Pinaputok na Tilapia and Pork/Chicken Adobo combo. Most of her dishes were really flavorful and when asked what was in each, she always said, “it’s a secret recipe ingredient”. I saw her season the dishes with Lee Kum Kee soy sauce and just smiled. I guess that was one way of saying that’s her secret, lol.

Lee Kum Kee has been around for over 130 years and over time, our old cupboard was full of different sauces and condiments. When I learned how to cook, treasured recipes from my aunt’s collections were passed down to me and of course, the love for the brand. I know it’s not in every household’s cupboard because the products are more expensive than other local brands but in mine, they are the staple. I’d rather have my family enjoy my cooking than worry about the price.

As the world’s number one oyster sauce brand for 11 consecutive years, Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce is an all-purpose seasoning sauce, perfect for dipping, marinating, stir-frying or as a sauce base. Using selected fresh oyster extracts, the Oyster Sauce adds a flavorful taste to every day Filipino dishes.

Made from premium non-GMO whole soybeans and wheat flour naturally brewed using traditional methods, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce has a rich flavor, color and aroma that will delicately enhance any dish by giving it a natural umami taste.

Prepared using the finest roasted sesame seeds, Lee Kum Kee Sesame Oil is carefully processed to retain the strong sesame flavor and aroma. As the country’s #1 sesame oil for 2018 in terms of volume according to a study by Nielsen*, Lee Kum Kee Sesame Oil easily accentuates any food’s overall taste even by just adding a few dashes.

So, last month, Lee Kum Kee introduced its new brand ambassador Ms. Karla Estrada who shared her cooking secrets to the guests. Chef John Flores was also there and cooked a traditional Pancit Canton but with a twist using the #3SecretsToLevelUpSarap which were the Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce, Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce and Lee Kum Kee Sesame Oil.

“I love cooking. It is a way for me to express my love for my family,” said Ms. Estrada. “Whether it is a dish for a special occasion or even for an everyday meal, I make sure to always use the best ingredients for my cooking.” She added, “Lee Kum Kee is really my secret ingredient to level up the sarap in my cooking. It allows me to bring out those balanced taste and authentic flavors that I want for my dishes. My family loves it so much! And when they are happy with my cooking, I am happy too!”

Guests were also treated to sumptuous dishes at the Seafood City, Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig. But, of course, the following dishes had hints of Lee Kum Kee products!
