Product of the month- Brianna's Ginger Mandarin Dressing

After searching the shelves high and low, I sought inspiration in the form of a bottle.

But this bottle didn't contain alcohol, or some other intoxicating liquid, it contained a simply delicious and versatile dressing.

Brianna's Ginger Mandarin Dressing is part of a growing range of dressings, sauces and marinates created in the southern state of Texas. They are adaptable and accessible in that you can use the same product to dress a salad, as well as marinate and cook your meat in!

These are the kind of products I love. They're not attributed to one specific use (apart from being very tasty), which means you can experiment, which is something I very much enjoy in the kitchen.

When I read the label on the back of the bottle some of its ingredients read; soy sauce, ginger and mandarin- which to me simply screams- pork, fresh green veg, noodles and a nice sticky sauce! So I give you my product of the month featured in the simple and easy to prepare dish:

7. Boil a large pan of salted water and cook the noodles according to the instructions
