Wok Mei All Natural Hoisin Sauce

Hoisin Sauce is our absolute favorite, and Wok Mei All Natural Hoisin Sauce is the best tasting one we've tried. An 'All Natural' Hoisin Sauce? You bet!No junk, just 100% natural ingredients. No MSG, no sodium benzoate, no modified corn starch. We even use evaporated cane juice rather than sugar!What Wok Mei Hoisin Sauce does have, however, is a rich, authentic Chinese Hoisin flavor!We use it as a dipping sauce for our chicken. Traditionally, this is used with Mu-Shu Pork, and is know as the Chinese BBQ Sauce. We spoon it on our rice, our baked potatoes, and we use it instead of ketchup for our fries. Ok, we admit we are hooked on this.
Customer Review: Wonderful Flavor for many dishes !!
Excellent rich flavor without high sodium. I use this in so many dishes, not just stir fry or oriental cooking. I use this as a finishing sauce for steak and pork shops. I also plan to use it for homemade soups and pot roast. Just a great all round addition to my kitchen!! Thank you, Wok Mei fot making this product and making it all natural as well!! Mrs. Deal


You're an adult. Do what you want. You can exercise your freedom to annoy all your coworkers, or you can be polite and do the right thing. It's all up to you.

5. Curries: Whether Indian, Thai, or Japanese, these can pack a powerful stench.

All of that responsibility from such an early age left Shanel with a lifelong desire to help others similarly in need of all the important lessons she had to learn to help her family survive--and eventually thrive--in this great country. She went to UCLA Law School and practiced law for 10 years in Los Angeles. Now, she has begun her second career as a writer to provide self help advice to help others succeed in their lives. Her formula is People, Work, and Money. And, for immigrants who are struggling now as her family once did, she adds English and Law. Shanel believes that success in life can be simple if you focus on people first, work second, and money third. To simplify it further, if you have great relationships--especially the most important one, which is with yourself--the rest will naturally follow. Dare to be awesome! Strive to be your own hero!

3. Natto: Japanese breakfast food of sticky, slimy fermented soy beans. Some say it smells like stinky feet, too.

They may taste delicious, but their smell sometimes hangs in the air for hours after getting nuked by microwaves in work kitchens.

Let's face it, some foods just stink.

4. Kimchee: Korean fermented napa cabbage, daikon radish, or small cucumbers.

Shanel Yang shares the Easy Steps to Success that she has distilled after trial and error since 1971, when she came to the U.S. from South Korea with her parents and three younger sisters. Her parents had no education, no marketable skills, knew no English, and only $50 when they landed at LAX with absolutely no idea how they would survive in this new country. The responsibilities were divided between the parents and Shanel like this: The parents earned as much money as they could with odd jobs, like janitorial work in a church, dishwashing in a restaurant, and sewing in a downtown sweatshop, while Shanel learned as much as she could about how to do everything else in this country and taught it to the entire family.

6. Cheese: These famously odiferous cheeses are favored in the U.S., England, Germany, France, Italy, etc.: Stilton, Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Camembert, Limburger, and, the mother of all smelly cheese, the Stinking Bishop.

10. Microwave Popcorn: I know, I know. It's so convenient! But this article is about smells that annoy coworkers. Bring already popped popcorn instead.

P.S., I never tried stinky tofu, durian, natto, or the Stinking Bishop. But, one of these days ... You only live once, right? Well, maybe not the Stinking Bishop.

1. Stinky Tofu: Yes, it's actually called that. A Taiwanese delicacy called "chou tofu," literal translation "stinky tofu," reportedly smells like raw sewage.

CONCLUSION

2. Durian: A football-sized fruit with a creamy custard-like center that reportedly smells like stinky feet. Some say they "smell like hell but taste like heaven."

10 Smelly Foods Not to Take to Work

Please do your coworkers a favor and save your more offensive attacks on their olfactory systems for your private home dining pleasure.

8. Bacon: Smells good to the person eating it but not to the rest of the office.

Being Korean-American, I am no stranger to deliciously stinky meals. But, during my 10 years working in various offices throughout Los Angeles, I refrained by either going out to eat for hot, smelly lunches or bringing back an inoffensive salad or cold sandwich to my desk. But some of my coworkers did not. Strong smells distract and annoy people who cannot leave their work stations to get away from the offensive odors. So think twice before bringing any of these to the office.

7. Seafood: That includes tuna, salmon, sardines, and herring. They all stink.



Callisons Seasoned Skewers Variety Pack, Honey Bourbon, Thai Coconut and Mexican Fiesta, 30-Count Package

Customer Review: Season without guilt!
These skewers are GREAT. Love all the flavors. Used for a whole roast chicken (two skewers were plenty) in the Honey Bourbon flavor... YUM. Then SALMON on the grill with the Thai Coconut - I can't wait to try the other flavors they have. The skewers are WELL seasoned so don't use them with a small item like tiny shrimp as they will be over powered. Use these for whole pieces of fish and chicken and even steak - one, right down the center. My favorite restaurant chef turned me on to these... I can't recommend them enough!!!
Customer Review: Skewered
Just read the description too quickly and ordered. I thought they already had the meat on them and would be sent with proper packaging to accommodate (like Omaha Steaks or whatever). But instead I got a big box with a bunch of wooden, flavored sticks in it. Some made (our) meats tasty-others were too strong.


Iced Coffee Recipes for Enjoying Chilled Espresso, Thai Iced Coffee And Many More Variations

Cinnamon Caramel

Here are a few more iced coffee recipes for you to try
Bermuda Iced Coffee

Fresh Lemon Cafe

There are many refreshing iced coffee recipes available, and we have selected some of the most interesting for you. However, my favorite of all it the traditional Italian iced coffee recipe which uses freshly made espresso, a cocktail shaker and ice cubes. In fact, if you ask for an iced coffee in Italy this is the only recipe they will serve. Poured into a cocktail glass, the chilled Italian espresso is second to none.

For this recipe, you'll need coffee, cream, sugar and coffee flavor ice-cream. Pour the coffee, cream, sugar and 1 or 2 scoops of ice-cream into a blender. Blend, and serve cold in glasses or mugs. Tastes great, but if you're on a diet beware.

Well, that's it. These are just a few of the many iced coffee recipes that are available today. Part of the fun is also experimenting. Enjoy.

Thai Iced Coffee

This recipe has an interesting taste. You'll need about 6 tsp of ground coffee, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 cup caramel syrup. Prepare a pot of coffee in the usual way, but add the cinnamon to the ground coffee. Add the syrup to the hot coffee and stir until dissolved. Chill the coffee and serve over ice with milk, cream or sugar. For an interesting variation, you could also use this coffee, but chill it in the way of the traditional Italian iced coffee recipe above.

Here's another interesting variation. You'll need strong ground coffee for brewing 4 cups, 4 tsp sugar, 4 tsp heavy cream, 2 tsp ground cardamom, 1 tsp almond flavoring, crushed ice. Add the cardamom to the ground coffee and brew, when ready add the sugar and almond flavoring, mix well and leave to cool or chill in fridge. Fill four glasses half way with the crushed ice, then add the coffee leaving about an inch or a little more from the rim of the glass. Hold a spoon over the coffee and gently pour the cream over the spoon so that the cream floats on the top of your iced coffee.

So, how is the Italian iced coffee recipe actually made? Simple, like all good things. Use your espresso machine, if you have one, to make a normal shot for one, two or more servings. Pour the freshly made espresso coffee into the cocktail shaker, add ice cubes (the ice doesn't get poured into the glasses with the coffee, so the flavor isn't diluted), close the shaker and shake like crazy! Pour into cocktail glasses and enjoy. Surprisingly, the iced coffee will not be a dark espresso brown color, but a creamy beige .

Here you'll need 1/4 cup of coffee to which you add 2 oz of lemon sherbet, 1/2 tsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of grated lemon rind and 1 tsp of sugar. Place the contents to your blender and blend until smooth. Serve in chilled glasses.
