Quick and easy BBQ sauce |
The grey clouds have been
lingering all day with a constant threat of rain until suddenly the
sun is spotted. Before you know it's the best part of the day and the
chance for a BBQ has to to be seized. A quick rifle through the
kitchen cupboards and freezer and you're clutching some hotdogs,
sausages and some pieces of unidentifiable meat. The problem is you
have nothing to go with it. A quick and easy sauce would be the
answer; something made with stuff you already have at home...
The good people at Kikkoman
sent me a selection of their soy sauces and marinade to try out and
of course soy sauce is the perfect store cupboard essential. Whilst
many people associate soy sauce with just oriental dishes there are
many other uses for it and it is a vital ingredient in this tangy BBQ
accompaniment.
