What You Should Know

House of Tsang Korean Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce is a shelf-stable bottled sauce you’d find in the grocery’s Asian/international aisle or the condiments section, shelved near other stir-fry sauces, soy sauces, hoisin and teriyaki options. It reads like a pantry shortcut for weeknight cooking: a glossy, viscous, sweet-and-salty glaze that finishes stir-fries, marinates chicken or tofu, or doubles as a dipping sauce. The bottle presentation leans on Asian-inspired cues and an established brand name rather than cartoon kids’ graphics — appealing to shoppers seeking convenient, restaurant-style flavor rather than organic or specialty positioning. Packaging typically highlights sesame and soy imagery to imply authenticity; it usually lacks organic certification and is not marketed as a health product, though label copy and imagery may suggest “authentic” or “restaurant-quality.” In plain processing terms, this is an industrially prepared sauce made from base ingredients (water, soy sauce, sugar, sherry wine, sesame oil) plus functional additives like modified food starch and yeast extract that give shine, thickness and intensified savory notes. Sensory: pourable and slightly sticky with a warm sweet-saline profile, toasted sesame aromatics, and a glossy finish that clings to noodles and vegetables. Rituals around use are pragmatic — tossed into a hot wok to deglaze and glaze ingredients, used in meal-prep batches, or kept as a quick weeknight shortcut. Nutrition cues are modest per serving (about 35 kcal) but the product is relatively high in sodium and contains added sugars, reflecting its convenience-focused role in American home cooking.
