Has Anyone Tried Mr. Spice Sauces?

Are they any good? I was thinking of trying the Ginger Stir Fry and the Sweet and Sour sauces.

i have a bottle of sweet and sour at home but i haven't used it yet. its been setting in the cupboard for a while! i'll write myself a note to taste it tonight

okay, so i went home over lunch and stuck my tongue in the bottle to taste (sweet and sour)... let's just say it was "funky." maybe try the other flavors and not the sweet and sour it just tasted weird, not like the sweet and sour sauce you'd get at a restaurant. here's a homemade recipe for it if you want to try making it from scratch...

2 tb Oil, peanut

2 ts Garlic, minced

2 ts Ginger, minced

1 c Water

1 c Vinegar

1 c Sugar

1 c Ketchup

2 tb Cornstarch

2 tb Water

1/2 ts Salt

Heat the oil in a wok and add garlic, ginger, water, vinegar, sugar and ketchup. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add salt. Add to the mixture in the wok and cook until clear. Serve hot, or cool and refrigerate for later use.

I ordered a whole bunch, unfortunately. We found them awful. Others I'm sure will like them but they just tasted kind of well as another poster put it .. funky.

Thanks guys!! You saved me a few dollars. I'm definately gonna try that recipe for sweet and sour sauce. How long does it stay for if I bottle it?

'His" Tangy Bang is good, in my opinion - I use it to add to stir fry veggies, etc -

BTW, if you order from the Mr. Spice web site, it's cheaper than at other sites, and you get free bottles with larger orders....

I think it's worth trying different gluten-free products like these, seeing which ones you like and then trying to copy the ingredients, if you can produce the same thing for less -

Oh thank G-d you told me that. I would have thought I could make it and keep it for 2 months like a store bought sauce. This link is awesome. You rock!! Thanks.
