Did you know that Chinese New Year has come and gone? That doesn't mean it's too late to celebrate! This year is Year of the Dragon!
January 23 was Chinese New Year and we were travelling home from our vacation. We're a little late, but we're still going to eat some home made Asian inspired food! I love to cook and I'm always looking for ways to spice it up sauce it up in the kitchen! I was really excited to sign up for this blog tour, because now that Braden is a seasoned toddler, we are in full on fussy-ish eating! He, like many kids, looooove to dip their food in sauces. Enter, VH Sauces! I have long been a fan of VH plum sauce, it is a staple in my fridge so I was looking very forward to trying some new sauces. We got sent the new VH garlic hoisin sauce, VH medium garlic rib sauce, and VH sweet & sour sauce. Since it is new, I decided to use the VH garlic hoisin sauce first, using the recipe right off the bottle - how easy!
Spray large pan with PAM.
Saute chicken for 10 minutes on medium-high until fully cooked.
Add peppers & cook for 2 minutes.
Add VH Hoisin sauce & heat until warm.
Serve with steamed snow peas & rice topped with VH Soya Sauce.
Instead of just snow peas, I used a frozen pack of stir-fry veggies. Next time I'll definitely use all fresh - tastes much better! My helper!
It got the approval from the boys! The sauce was very tasty, not bland, and not too strong or spicy! We'll definitely be doing this again and adding some more ingredients too, Jay wants cashews and I think that would be very nice.
I've gotta say, the VH Sauces website is pretty amazing and very user friendly. They have a good index of recipesand it's really easy to do a search using either ingredients that you have at home and/or VH products you have. A lot of the recipes look really easy and don't take very long at all! They also have a new Facebook page, so you should go like that too while you're at it!
VH has a new line of frozen meals called VH Steamers. This is a great option for me at work because I don't always have time (or food!) to pack a lunch or supper...or especially a lunch and supper when I work a 12 hour shift.
Now it's your turn to try VH! They are kindly giving away a Chinese New Year prize pack worth $60 to one of my Canadian readers! Please click the "read more" link to enter.
