The Store-Bought BBQ Sauce That's Grilling With Us All Summer
BY PEGGY AOKI
To truly enjoy your favorite barbecued foods this summer, reach for one surprising, non-traditional option: Bachan's Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce.
With a base full of umami and sweetness, this sauce is balanced with just enough tomato paste to add body and a savory tang. Garlic and ginger add some more depth.
This versatile sauce has a light flavor profile due to a lack of molasses and overabundance of tomato. It works for red meat and more delicate flavors like seafood and veggies.
