I've got a confession to make to the blogosphere...
"Hello, my name is Heather. I am Asian and I cannot for the life of me cook palatable Asian food (I make a mean Italian meatball, though!)!!"
There.
I said it.
My secret is out. ;-P
I'm so bad at cooking Asian that I don't even own a wok (nor do I want one, either).... ha!
It's not as if I don't LIKE Asian foods- I especially LOVE Korean and Thai- I just seem incapable of getting the meat "just so," and the sauces, "just right." I once ruined making a whole dish of fried rice. *sigh!*
However, I've got another little secret to share with you, today... With the help of
WORLDFOODS fusion of flavors sauces, I am now able to fake a pretty good
Pad Thai or
Panang Chicken. Yum!!

We've been without a working refrigerator for the last week and a half.... in hot, humid July... over Fourth of July Weekend... It's a long story....
Anywho, needless to say, we haven't been cooking much in the past week and a half. So, once our fridge was
FINALLY fixed (for the
SECOND time!!), I went grocery shopping and decided it was the perfect opportunity to test out our samples of
WORLDFOODS Fusion of Flavors Sauces. Specifically, I tried out the Thai Creamy Chili Kaffir Lime Cooking Sauce.
WORLDFOODS Fusion of Flavors Sauces is SOOO easy to use. Really! Just chop up your veggies and meat, saute/cook and then finish off by pouring in the sauce. Serve over rice and- ta da!- That's it! Dinner is served! Other than the sauce, no weird, unusual ingredients needed- everything can be bought at your normal, local grocery store. You don't even need a fancy wok, or fancy cooking equipment- just a stove and pan. Simple. I like that.
Lil' Miss was a willing sous chef.*
From start to finish, this dish probably took about 20 minutes to prepare. That's from the time I put the rice in the rice cooker, chopped veggies to when I plated and served. Love that! Perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Time to get SAUCY!!
WORLDFOODS Fusion of Flavors Saucy, that is! ;-)*
Now, let's talk about taste.....
Personally, I found the dish a bit bland. Hubby and I like things SPICY!! So, speaking from a scoville standpoint, the sauce was a bit disappointing. Thai food should be spicy. There is such a thing as "Thai Spicy." Just sayin'. We added some fresh habaneros from our garden to the dish to kick it up a notch. ;-P
However, the lack of spice, isn't to say that the dish was not flavorful. Lil' Miss enjoyed the chicken (in the
WORLDFOODS Thai Creamy Chili Kaffir Lime Cooking Sauce). She doesn't like things quite as spicy as Mommy and Daddy, so it was just right for her tastebuds.
Bon Appetit!
Dinner is served!
Overall, this was a great product to try and review! Lot's of fun and a great, quick way to get dinner on the table. Thank you,
