Coincidence????? GB I went to Trader Joe's on Saturday and guess what??? They were demonstrating Tsao with a new fresh vegie they had - sugar snap peas, bok choy and snow peas in same mix, added onion and the sauce, wow was it good, and yes I got a bottle and anxious to try it. I did not get the vegies however, as it was fresh and too much for me to eat before it spoiled. But I can get the same vegies in bulk so I can buy what I need and do the same thing, either with chicken or pork. MMMMM

GB, I tried the General Tsao's sauce yesterday. I stir fried a chicken breast and then added the sauce. I let it simmer just a minute or so. Then I spooned it over hot rice and sprinkled it with green onions. It was very good. Not too spicy, but also not too sweet.

I am so glad you liked it! I love that it is not too sweet.

Has anyone tried Trader Joe's Roasted Pepita Simmer Sauce? I bought a jar the other day and was just curious if anyone else has tried it.

Found one about 15 minuts from my home. I need to pay this place a visit.

I haven't made it to Trader Joe's yet. Are the sauces you folks mentioned actually a Trader Joe's brand? I'd love to try the General Tsao's sauce!

Thanks, PA. And to think it came from my "home" newspaper too - how did I miss this?

Good stuff, GB! I'm a General Tsao's freak but the closest Chinese restaurants do a mediocre job, unfortunately. That reminds me, I made the sauce myself once and it turned out pretty close to the real thing. I think I posted the recipe but I'm not sure. I'll try to hunt it down.

I saw this the last time I was there, SierraCook, but could not put the two flavors together, pepita's are the center part of a pumpkin seed. Let me know how it tastes and if you like it. I will be going there again next week probably, so I would consider trying it if you liked it.

I'm afraid I haven't, Norge. I'm having some mechanical problems with the "Danger Ranger" and I don't trust it to go too far. TRUST ME, once I get the problem fixed (vacuum hoses I'm told, whatever those do), heading to TJ's is a top priority! I'm tired of shopping at the local Kroger!

OK DC, just checking.
