Kevin Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I guess I should have posted this earlier in the summer, but there's likely still a few more chances to benefit from this ( or in your oven as well ) , but I want to ask about barbeque sauces : both commercial and homemade . Naturally , in Japan , choices are limited ( mainly Kraft or Bullseye brands ) , and I'm getting a little tired of the same tastes, so I'd like people to post their current favorites ( I know we have alot of regions out there with some good ones , and perhaps I could order them over the net ) or recipies for homemade ones that are particularly good. As an afterthought , good marinades or rubs would also be welcome . Thanks . :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 My favorite is probably the KC Masterpiece, but I love the "Dinosaur Barbeque Famous Slathering Sauce". I'm sure Laurie will back me up on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks for those ! I'll look for it . Here's a rub which I love --especially for Pork ( ribs , chops ) or Chicken : Good for about 1 lb. of meat : 1 Tbsp chilli powder 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp ground cumin 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp red/ cayenne pepper 1 ( or more cloves of garlic ( finely chopped ) Mix . Rub in . Refrigerate 2-24 hours . Great SW taste !! Spread your BBQ sauce on top as well , if you want . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 All right , lay off, already ! Racheal Ray's 30- Minute Meals , right ? Odd , her show isn't on NHK or TV Asahi ... yet . :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I could whip that Iron Chef's a$$!! I, too, have made stuff out of raw octopus and fish heads that looks nowhere near edible, but is actually quite tasty. And just like him, I think I can find three people in this world that have the balls to taste it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Coca Cola makes a brilliant sticky, sweet barbecue sauce! Also, a chili, garlic and ginger rub is nice for pork. Lime juice, lemon rind'lemongrass, cracked black pepper and olive oil makes a good rub for most fish and chicken pieces. I'll think of more, but I usually make them up as I go along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 You just described last Sunday's dinner, Sammy ... wasn't too bad , either ( it helps if you're half-cracked on sake , though ) . Thanks , EA !! Just Coke ... as sauce ? Hmmm... Keep 'em coming, though ... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I´m hungry after reading this whole thread... it´s a miracle, I´m never hungry... I´ll have to wake up the "chef du maison" and see what he´s got to offer... I love all kind of sauces but I wouldn´t be able to know their names... I just open the fridge and help myself. I know, I´m awfull, even my family is ashamed of me when they take me to expensive restaurants and I order some Coke to drink instead of any good wine...

edna Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I hated Coke when I was a kid... actually, that colour and bubbles scared me so!! I discovered coke at 23, I was home alone and my boyfriend had a big bottle of coke in the fridge, I had some hungover and took it all... it really woke me up and ever since then, I drink it. Sorry, this is a gourmet thread, I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Sorry Kevin, I was really typing in a rush there... If you soak your meat in the Coke overnight, it softens the meat and adds a sticky coating to the exterior. Adding a bit of thickener in the form of ketchup/bbq sauce/marinade/cornstarch it makes a nice thick, sticky marinade. I normally use the Coke to make the best Hong Kong chicken ever!

Earth-Angel Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Another fantastic flavour enhancer is a mixture of Jack Daniels, soy sauce and sugar. Best as a marinade or a baste though. Beer also softens and flavours meat very nicely, espcially beef. Trust me, I come from the land of weekend braai's (bbq's) so I have seen and learnt all the tricks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
