Product Review: Ken's Steak House Marinade & Sauce

This review is for Ken's Steak House Sesame Ginger marinade and sauce, as shown in the picture above. I did not get asked to do this review, nor did I get paid for it. I just bought this at the grocery store and had to share my opinion on it.

My husband and I LOVED it. I opted to use it as a "sauce" rather than a marinade and holy yum, it was fantastic. I was in a pinch at dinner time and just dumped some over semi-frozen boneless thighs, then popped them in the oven to bake. The smell of the sauce filled the house and it was like being in one of those Japanese steak houses. Score one for the sauce. Next, I whipped up some stir fry veggies, fresh from the freezer and added another bit of sauce to the pan. Done. Finally, I made a little minute rice to serve it with. Here's a tip when making minute rice - season the water with complementary spices and it will flavor the rice as it cooks, seasoning each grain perfectly. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and ginger powder.

When my husband got home, he immediately commented on how good dinner smelled. Of course by this time I disposed of the bottle and took all the credit, but in reality it took just minutes to prepare, plus time to bake. Like I said, I even used partially frozen chicken thighs, so these marinades and sauces really help on nights when you didn't do so well at planning ahead, but still want an excellent meal. I'll definitely be buying more at the store, possibly in other flavors, to keep in the pantry for emergencies or nights when I want takeout, but not the work of getting takeout or the price that accompanies the unhealthy choices. This sauce is sodium free and a healthy way to really satisfy a Chinese food craving.
