Share
If there’s one flavor combo that Filipinos can’t resist, it’s soy + garlic — and when you add a Korean twist to that duo, you get something dangerously delicious. Enter McCormick Soy Garlic Korean, a sauce that instantly transforms any dish into a sweet-savory, lip-smacking masterpiece.
Whether you’re craving Korean chicken, looking for a shortcut to flavorful stir-fries, or just want a new pantry staple to level up weeknight meals, this sauce delivers big flavor with zero hassle. Let’s dig in.
What Makes Soy Garlic Korean So Addictive?
McCormick’s take on soy garlic isn’t your usual toyo-mansi vibe. It’s a balanced blend of sweet, salty, garlicky, and slightly smoky, made to mimic that famous Korean fried chicken glaze we all order at 1 a.m.
The flavor hits all the right spots:
Garlicky and aromatic
Sweet but not overpowering
Savory with a deep soy base
Perfectly sticky when reduced or cooked down
It’s the kind of flavor that makes rice disappear way too fast.
Perfect for Korean Fried Chicken (But Not Just That)
Of course, this sauce shines brightest on crispy fried chicken wings. Toss the wings in a warm pan with Soy Garlic Korean, and you get that glossy, sticky coating that’s equal parts sweet, salty, and garlicky.
But don’t stop there — this sauce has range. Try it with Grilled Chicken Thighs, Pork belly bites, Fish Fillet Strips, Air-fried Chicken Nuggets, Shrimp Stir-fry
If it cooks, it works.
Easy Weeknight Cooking in One Bottle
One of the best things about McCormick Soy Garlic Korean is how effortless it is.
Feeling lazy? Make Soy garlic chicken rice bowls, Stir-fried noodles, Veggie and tofu bibimbap-style bowls, or Korean-style glazed pork. You don’t need complicated steps, special ingredients, or long marinades. The sauce already delivers the depth and balance — all you have to do is sauté, simmer, and serve.
The Perfect “Rice Buddy” Flavor
Filipinos love sauces that go well with rice — it’s basically a requirement.
This sauce passes the rice test with flying colors. Let it caramelize a little in the pan, and you’ll get a rich, sticky glaze that clings to every grain. It’s the kind of dish where you tell yourself “just one more scoop” until you realize you need a second cup.
Kid-Friendly, Adult-Loved
Some sauces skew too spicy or too salty, but McCormick Soy Garlic Korean sits right in the middle — flavorful enough for adults, mild enough for the kids.
Add chili flakes or gochugaru if you want heat. Keep it as is if you’re serving the whole family.
Versatility? Check.
