Cooking Inspiration - Seasonal Ingredients and Perfect Sauce Pairings

Fall

The beautiful fall-time is not solely dedicated to everything pumpkin spice (although it may feel that way).  To name a few: brussels sprouts, beets, cranberries, turkey, cauliflower, apples, squash, carrots, fennel, mushrooms and potatoes are favorites during this colorful time of year.

Fall is the marker for warmer and heartier meals.  Pair it with Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce. This sauce is heavier and exploding with flavor, making it a staple for marinating, dipping and grilling. 

 

Winter

Similar to Fall, the seasonal ingredients revolve around squash, red meats, mushrooms, brussels sprouts and much more.  This time of year is the coolest in temperature, therefore, the dishes become heartier and packed with heat. 

Keep that inner fire alive with LKK’s Chili Garlic Sauce.  The mildly hot chili will warm you up, while adding a depth to your favorite meats, fish, vegetables and noodles. 

 

Spring

Spring has sprung, everything is alive and blooming, including the flavor in your food.

Spring marks the transition to lighter dishes: making arugula, bok choy, spinach, greens,  garlic and fresh rhubarbs favorites amongst the culinary community.

Whip up some wilted greens with Panda Brand Cooking Soy Sauce.  The deep soy sauce paired with light greens create a seamless transition from Winter to Spring.

 

Summer

Sweet summertime brings all of the lively ingredients to the table. 

Meals are light and colorful.  Summertime favorites involve chard, berries, beets, avocados, cucumbers, eggplant, spinach, melons and most importantly, fresh fish.  

Marinate fish with the awakening blend of orange, lemon and lime from Panda Brand’s Triple Citrus Grilling and Dipping Sauce.
