Ah yes, another five star sauce. I’ve been pretty much addicted to this one since it was sent to me and I’ve tried it on everything from Angus beef burgers (gifts from Omaha Steak Co) to mac & cheese to grilled chicken and grilled cheese sandwiches. It’s a great all purpose sauce that I can’t get enough of. Great sauce that you should try if you like Asian-style soy/hoisin type sauces.

Here’s what Bill Kelley, the owner of the company, has this to say about the sauce:
I love to cook Chinese, Japanese and Thai food at home and wanted to develop a versital Asian sauce for the Grill to compliment my other two BBQ sauces. Most of the Asian sauces are soy based and very thin and seemed to roll off the meat when I brushed it on. I wanted something thick and rich that would stay on the meat when brushed on and that is how this sauce was developed.
Here’s more, from Bill:
