    The Ginger People Sauces for Cooking, Dipping, and Marinading

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on August 4, 2007 Dairy-Free Sauce Reviews, Product Reviews

    I know that many ginger fans are quite familiar with Gin Gins Ginger Candies from The Ginger People. But did you know they have a whole cooking line, too? It include The Ginger People Sauces, which come in five gluten-free, ginger-forward varieties.

    The Ginger People Sauces for Dipping, Cooking, and Marinading. All gluten-free, dairy-free, plant-based, and ginger-forward.

    The Ginger People Sauces for Cooking, Dipping, and Marinading

    So far, we’ve tried four varieties of The Ginger People Sauces. I’ve included our thoughts with each of those flavors, but please do add your own rating and review below if you’ve tried any of them!

    Ginger Peanut

    Wow!  Sweet, spicy, bold, rich… this sauce really hits the mark. As a cooking sauce, it added pleasant flavor, but I thought the essence of the sauce was lost. This is a true dipping and pouring sauce in my mind. It is perfect for dipping spring rolls, stirring into Asian pasta salad, pouring atop steamed veggies and rice, using as a satay dip, or adding to a chicken stir-fry after you remove it from the stove.

Pictured: Ginger PeanutIngredients: water, apple cider vinegar, tamari soy sauce (water, soybeans, salt, alcohol, vinegar, lactic acid), peanut flour, ginger, sugar, modified corn starch, organic honey, jalapeno puree (jalapeno peppers, salt, acetic acid), expeller pressed canola oil, garlic (garlic, citric acid), salt, dried onion, curry powder (spices, turmeric, salt), sesame oil. contains: peanut, soy and sesame.

    Nutrition (per 2 tablespoons): 25 calories, 1g fat, 3g carbs, 0g fiber, 2g sugars (includes 2g added sugars), 1g protein.*

    Ginger Sesame

    To my dismay, this marinade continuously wanted to separate.  A split second after shaking, the potent chili spiked oil floated back to the top. I tried to pour as quickly as possible, but the first few pours were still way too spicy. As we got further into the bottle, the flavor was nicer.

    We really liked this as a salad dressing – it was a bit like a vinaigrette, but with actual chunks of ginger. It also worked well as a marinade. The flavor wasn’t too bold, but we drizzled a little more on after cooking and it was delicious. We thought it paired well with both chicken and tofu.

Pictured: Ginger SesameIngredients: water, tamari soy sauce (water, soybeans, salt, alcohol, vinegar, lactic acid), expeller pressed canola oil, ginger, rice vinegar, sugar, toasted sesame seed oil, distilled vinegar, shredded ginger (ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, water, salt, citric acid), candied ginger (ginger, sugar), jalapeno puree (jalapeno peppers, salt, acetic acid), salt, sesame seeds, dried shallots, dried garlic, xanthan gum. contains: soy and sesame seeds.

    Ginger Lime

    This flavor was much thicker than the Ginger Sesame, almost like an Asian-style barbecue sauce. It has a bold taste, but didn’t penetrate as well as expected as a marinade. However, we loved it as a simmer sauce. My husband, who claims to not like ginger in any form, scarfed his serving of ginger lime chicken down and went back for seconds.

    Sweet Ginger Chili

    This brilliant orange sauce immediately reminded me of Thai-style sweet chili sauce. It is remarkably similar, but boasts red pepper puree, and of course, ginger. I wouldn’t have thought it possible, but The Ginger People’s version of sweet chili sauce was actually sweeter than the traditional. For us, this one was just too intensely sweet and spicy.

    Peanut Sauce & Ginger Lime

    Rated 5 out of 5
    July 29, 2020

    We loved the peanut sauce for dipping, and the ginger lime sauce as a cooking sauce. The chili sauce was just too sweet for our tastes. The ginger sesame sauce was pretty good, but separates too easily. We haven’t tried the teriyaki yet.
