One thing I do like in my cupboard are cook in sauces. I like making meals in minutes and if I have the time (and the money) I am quite happy to make up sauces myself but at the moment I don't have time and so tend to buy decent branded, ready made sauces...such as this one and I did me and my flat mate this for tea last night! The Packaging: The jar is sort of square in shape and see-through chunky glass and it has a twist on/off black lid to the top of it with the word Sharwoods on it. On the front and to the sides of the jar there is a red label and on the front of that again I'm told it is Sharwood's Szechuan Kung Po 'A sweet and spicy sauce ...  Read the complete review

If you have tried and enjoyed them at a Chinese restaurant or takeaway, you might already enjoy Kung Po dishes which are a nice flavour, as they're sweet and sour, and with a hot touch to them. Chinese food is one of the things I prefer to eat out rather than attempt to make myself, purely because of the range of unusual ingredients you need to put into it.

I like to cook at home, as it is much cheaper than the takeaway, but one of the attractions of a takeaway is it's simplicity - what can be easier than taking the menu out of the kitchen drawer, ...  Read the complete review

Food not only sustains us, but i think it is a passion with me. I love to eat and i enjoy cooking mainly for friends and family. Sharwood's Szechuan Kung Po sauce is a complete cook in sauce which comes in a 425g jar and can be found in the chinese food section of most major supermarkets. The sauce is rich and spicy and all you have to do is add meat or fish and stir fry for a quick and extremely tasty meal. The sauce contains water chestnuts, red peppers and chillies and contains plenty for 2 to 3 people which means additional vegetables do not need to be added. I normally serve it with noodles or fried rice. It contains a recipe on the ...  Read the complete review
