Jade Sichuan Peanut Sauce

Bring the enticing flavors of the Far East to your kitchen with Jade's Peanut Sauce. Based on traditional Asian condiments, this sauce adapts well to Western cooking styles — barbecuing, baking, broiling, stir-frying, and salad-making — providing a convenient way to add a provocative flavor to poultry, meats, seafood, and vegetables.

The San Francisco Chronicle says of Jade's Sichuan Peanut Sauce

A while back, a reader suggested we look at Asian peanut sauces, of which there are many, many in the market.

Some are rather liquidy, others coarse like a sambal, but the best ones simply hit all the right flavor notes - they are intensely peanut-y, with a nice spicy-sweet balance.

Which leads us to the newest members of our Taster's Choice Hall of Fame. Two peanut sauces - Jade and Annie Chun's - were head and shoulders above the rest in our blind tasting, scoring more than the 80 points required for entry into the Hall.

First-place Jade ($8.80 for 13.5 ounces at Draeger's) received a perfect score from one panelist, while another raved that it "tastes homemade." "Sweet, tangy and spicy" with a "nice peanut hit," this "glossy" sauce is "best for dipping." All five panelists would buy this brand.

Ingredients: Soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), cane sugar, water, peanuts, expeller-pressed soybean oil, distilled vinegar, brown sugar, peanuts, ginger puree (ginger, water), garlic, cayenne, xanthan gum.
