My (Y.A.A.H) teriyaki sauce journey is over!!

Hello Friends,
 If you are seeking tasty sauces for quick meals and want to avoid high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), tons of sodium and suspect ingredients, I hear your pain. I have been seeking an alternative to my former favorite teriyaki sauce by Kikkoman. I have spent months trying different natural ingredient brands but they either taste weird, are not as yummy or satisfying as the Kikkoman brand and/or cost $6 or more per bottle. I love using teriyaki sauce to make my fried tofu (marinade tofu overnight in teriyaki sauce, then press out the moisture, batter in bread crumbs and pan fry with coconut or grape seed oil. I have missed this quickie dish and others due to my frustrating teriyaki sauce search. God is so good as I finally found a brand with all natural ingredients, lower sodium and it only costs $2.49 per bottle!!!. Harris Teeter’s HT Traders brand Teriyaki Sauce has won the taste, price and simple ingredient test for me and my family. I even used in on some vegan chick strips (Kroger’s Simple Truth Organic brand) for a tasty teriyaki vegetarian chicken meal at church potluck that was a hit (I added steamed broccoli and brown rice to complete the simple dish).

I just found even better news today. Harris Teeter now has this delicious simple sauce on sale buy 1 get 1 free until Tuesday July 2 2013. Oh goodie! 2 bottles for only $2.49. If no Harris Teeter is convenient to you, it is worth the trip to stock up for the future. Did I mention it comes in a light protected GLASS bottles too! I love it!!!

See below for the nutrition facts and ingredients list for these 2 brands below. Note the much lower sodium in the HT Trader’s brand per serving (380mg sodium for a 2 TBSP serving versus 610mg sodium for a 1 TBSP serving of Kikkoman brand). Now who really uses only 1 TBSP teriyaki sauce? Sure the HT Traders brand has more total sugars but they are sourced from sugar and pineapple juice and not HFCS. Let me know how you like it on your favorite dishes.

NOTE: For a soy-free and/or gluten-free tasty base sauce, try the Coconut Secret Raw Organic Coconut Aminos. Find it at Co=ops, Whole Foods, EarthFare and online at amazon.com. Don’t worry as the price is much lower in the stores; a little goes a long way.

Enjoy and share.
