I marinaded some tofu strips in the teriyaki sauce and then sauted them. Wow, was it delicious! My two little boys ate them with rice with no complaints. Have y'all tried the Oy Vay sauces? Which one(s) do you like the most(the Hawaian looked good too)? What dishes have you prepared with them? Wed Jan 21 10:52:37 -0800 2004 0 Sant 1 1627271 Could it be "Soy Vey"? Interesting story behind the product. I dumped a bottle of it (the teriyaki) into a bowl of plain old beef kebobs overnight, then grilled. Superb.

Wed Jan 21 11:59:45 -0800 2004 1627271 0 jen kalb 3 1627343 apparently they have 4 products. i've only tried one (veri veri teriyaki). anyone try the others? Link: http://www.soyvay.com/ Wed Jan 21 16:16:11 -0800 2004 1627284 0 pebbles 1 1627276 I have used these sauces and really like them. It is Soy Vay. It is one of the only ones on the market that I find garlicky enough for me. Trader Joe's sells them at a fraction of the price of grocery stores. I do have a teriyaki marinade that is similar that I also really like, and would be glad to post, but when in a rush, this is easy to pull out of the cupboard. What is the story behind the name? I would like to know. Wed Jan 21 11:27:12 -0800 2004 1627267 0 dawnie2u 2 1627290 The story behind the name is that the product is produced by a chinese woman and a jewish man. Hence the take on Oy Vey. Wed Jan 21 12:25:52 -0800 2004 1627276 0 Baruch 2 1627291 The story is something like an Asian woman (soy) and a Jewish (vey) man (I think they were husband and wife.) came up with the sauce. The "story" used to be printed on the bottle of the teriyaki sauce. Maybe it's not anymore. Wed Jan 21 12:27:53 -0800 2004 1627276 0 David in Olympia 3 1627581 Story still on label--I, too, thought they were married but doesn't say so on label or website. The Island Teriyaki label claims to be in honor of the guy's parents' 50th anniversary (they spent the early yrs of the marriage in Hawaii). I've tried the Veri Veri Teriyaki (use it as marinade on red meat, pork; then toss on the grill), Island Teriyaki (marinade fish, chicken; grill). Also like the Cha cha Chinese chicken salad dressing. I prefer to make my marinades from scratch but Soy Vay is so handy when I'm feeling lazy.
