quick question on sauces for food

[PistolStarta]

two of my main staple meals are brown rice with chicken and brown rice with tuna. Now I usually use A1 or Soy, however even light soy has 400+mg sodium per tbsp and A1 is right around 280 for 2 tbsp, bbq sauces are full of sugar. So what can I add to make my foods tase better.

Yes, I already do use some franks and srirachi, but I dont always want to poop fire.

herbs and spices

Rosemary, thyme, oregano etc....

Garlic is good

Smoked paprica, cumin seeds, cayene pepper


Try this, you wont be disapointed

2 Tbsp paprica
2 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp black pepper corns, ground
2 cloves of garlic
3 Tbsp onion flakes
2 Tbsp dried oregano
salt

Put all into a blender or food processor, grind it up, done!

Rub it on meat or fish whatever.

If u want it to last a long time bake it in the oven on a low temp for 10 mins to dry out the garlic


This is defo worth trying. Really good

Base's advice is on point. Nice oil/acid-based marinades and dry rubs are the way to go. Then, the food is already tasty and just a splash of hot sauce and some dijon mustard is all you need. Also, look into the reduced sodium soy - it's not as bad. Use like 1/4 tsp of it with 1/4 tsp hoisin and 1/2 tsp PB and you've got a nice little peanut sauce to spread on your chicken if you're feeling in the mood for chinese/asian.
