New San-J Gluten Free Products Review

I was contacted by San-J to review their New Gluten Free Products, Tamari Lite Soy Sauce and Mongolian Stir-fry & Marinade.   Comments are my own and product was the only compensation received for this review.

I did not know that all of San-J’s Asian Cooking Sauces, Tamari Sauces, Salad Dressings and Brown Rice Crackers are Gluten Free!  What I  LOVE is that the Tamari Lite and Mongolian Marinade have been awarded the Non-Gmo Project label which means they use non genetically modified soybeans!

Tamari Lite, although having 50% less sodium, does not taste that way. It is kosher and vegan with a rich flavor which I love. Using it in everyday cooking would not make me feel deprived of the flavor of salt at all.   I just used it tonight on my swiss steak that I had made in our crock pot, it added an earthy richness to the sauce.   In fact, in one of my intensive cooking classes we were told that a secret ingredient for most any dish is soy sauce!   Try it next time a dish just needs something…

The Mongolian Marinade is hitting the shelves this month and I was thrilled to try it first! I don’t usually use Mongolian seasoning or flavors so this was something new for me.   I marinated thinly cut beef slices in the sauce for about an hour. While marinating the beef, I caramelized one sweet onion, removing it  from the fry pan when finished.    I then used tongs to remove the meat from the marinade squeezing what I could from the meat.    I transferred the meat into the fry pan and cooked it on high adding garlic, yellow peppers, mushrooms and green pea pods.  The photo below is not as sharp as I would have liked due to the steam.

I cooked the meat on high long enough so the marinade caramelized slightly.  I added the caramelized onions to the fry pan mixture until hot and  served this over rice with a small bowl of Mongolian Marinade on the side.   It was fantastic!   My husband loved it and had seconds.  I will be keeping a jar of this Mongolian Marinade in my pantry.   I loved the flavor which is hard to describe but I will try:  slightly sweet, a little salty, full bodied and pleasantly complementary to meat dishes. You can go online at San-J and get some other great Mongolian Recipes.
