After discovering the spicy noodle sauce from Ying’s Kitchen I wanted to try other sauces from them.

The Spicy Kungpao Sauce is a tasty blend of Soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red chili that is a welcome addition to any pantry. And yes, I know that Kung Pao is supposed to be two words. 

I had pork thawed so I made a stir fry from of pork, broccoli, carrot, cremini mushrooms, garlic, onion, and roasted peanuts. Everything came together nicely and soon it was time to add the Xtra Spicy Kungpao sauce. 

The sauce is not very thick but coated the vegetables and pork nicely. I added some chopped scallions as a garnish, spooned everything over white rice and dug in. 

What greeted me was deliciousness itself. For being a mass produced item, the Ying’s Xtra Spicy Kungpao Sauce is a real pleasure combining flavor and heat in the right amounts. The vegetables and pork flavors were enhanced but not overpowered. While the label calls out that the sauce is “Xtra Spicy” there wasn’t a lot of heat. Instead, the sauce is a nice balance between tanginess, sweetness, and spice.

If you like Kung Pao you should give Ying’s Xtra Spicy Kungpao Sauce a try. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised as to how good it is.
