Beef Stir-Fry

Beef Stir-Fry
with Levinsky's Carrot Jalapeño Sweet & Sassy Zinger Hot Sauce

I won Levinsky's Carrot Jalapeño Sweet & Sassy Zinger Hot Sauce on a Facebook contest and decided to cook with it on beef stir-fry. Levinsky's make great vegetable based natural sauces and have an ever growing line. Levinsky's Carrot Jalapeño Sweet & Sassy Zinger Hot Sauce complimented this dish and had a fresh taste with a tangy-sweet flavor. This vinegar based sauce with carrots and jalapeño blended well with the minced ginger, sesame oil and stir-fry sauce and had a touch of heat. Levinsky's has recently expanded into a more traditional line of hot sauces (see link below). This is a quick and easy meal that takes less than 30 minutes to prepare. Beef Stir-Fry recipe and directions below.

K POP Sauce

K POP! Sauce with Beef Stir-Fry
Medium Heat Korean Chili Sauce

I discovered K POP! when I was doing research on Korean hot pepper paste. I recently heard Gochujang pepper pastes are good when blended into ketchup. Then I came across K POP! Sauce, not a ketchup but a spicy pepper sauce. I was interested in this type of condiment. K POP! Sauce is a very good sauce to add to your cooking as well as a straight forward condiment.

Beef Stir-Fry with K POP! Sauce

We made beef stir-fry (recipe below) with K POP! and it came out fantastic and the flavors really popped. There was no need to add other sauces or spices, except for seasoning the veggies, and beef strips with a little salt and pepper. K POP! has all the flavor you need to create a stellar stir-fry dish. I also tried K POP! on pork fried rice and pork steamed dumplings takeout from a local Chinese restaurant.

The sauce accompanied both our homemade stir fry and the takeout foods perfectly. K POP! Sauce has a medium heat level and a bit of sweetness culminating in a warm, vibrant, and tasty sauce that was so satisfying.

Jasmine Rice

K POP! Foods is based in Southern California and recently released Seaweed Snacks. The flavor profile of K POP! Sauce comes from ingredients such as: Gochujang hot pepper paste, hot pepper powder, soy seasoning, garlic juice, lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, and more... The ingredients blend into a thick but textured sauce.

Pick up some K POP! Sauce online to add to your pantry and try cooking and topping your foods with it for a sweet-heat flavor burst, Korean style. This is the best new Asian sauce I have come across in years so check K POP! out.
