Introducing Secret Sauce #1

If you're someone who doesn't know how to cook or always gets the balance wrong when you're trying to stir fry or make noodles – welcome! You're not alone – I've struggled all my life.

Until...I married into the Lims and discovered the secret sauce made by my mother-in-law, aka Mama Lim! Now, I am confidently 'wok'ing it 🙂!

Why Stir-Fry Is So Hard To Master 

Traditional stir fry is not as easy as you think (believe me, I've tried and failed more times than not) . There are 7-10 ingredients to balance - like oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, normal soy sauce, fish sauce... uuuh, do I need to go on? So even a skilled cook can sometimes make their stir fry inconsistent in taste. That’s why I love Mama Lim's Secret Sauce #1 – you don't need to do the balancing – it’s all done for you.

Origin Of The Secret Sauce #1

Mama Lim, my mother-in-law, formerly owned a very successful restaurant in Springvale, Melbourne. Her menu was packed with everything from fried rice to pad-thai noodles to various soups – dishes that, to me, always seemed pretty complex. Yet no matter how busy the kitchen got, the flavour was always spot on – rich, balanced, and consistent.

Years later, when my sister struggled with cooking, I told her to take a cooking class from Mama Lim. Mama Lim started the lesson by saying “it’s actually easy!” We laughed – because of course it’s easy for Mama Lim, she knew how to cook! 

But then came the revelation: Mama Lim had been pre-mixing her sauces all along. That was her secret weapon. We were shocked – “OMG, she has a secret sauce!” Suddenly it all made sense. The consistency, the flavour, the ease… it was all thanks to the secret sauce. Cooking really was easy – when you have the sauce ready to go.

How The Secret Sauce Reduced My Sister's Stress

My sister is a full-time working mother of 3 who had struggled with cooking all her life: the struggle of what to cook and how to cook so that her kids would actually eat it – especially her eldest who had an unsually discerning palette. My sister jokingly said to him, "I'm sorry you were born to the wrong mum who can't cook."

One day, I suggested she take a cooking class with Mama Lim. The kids had grown up loving Mama Lim’s restaurant food, so in comparison, my sister's home cooking didn’t quite measure up. Long story short, she went to one class, found out there was a secret sauce behind all of those beloved dishes, and no joke, her kids now love her cooking too.  She was also way less stressed about mealtimes, since that one sauce can whip up so many of her kids' favourite meals.

Only downside? The sauce disappears way too fast!

Why We Call It Secret Sauce #1 

We call it Secret Sauce #1 because that’s literally what we’ve called it since the discovery. It’s the go-to sauce in both our kitchen and Mama Lim’s – it’s #1 because we use it the most, and because, honestly, it deserves that top spot.
