CHICAGO, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- P.F. Chang's
Home Menu, a brand of Conagra Brands (NYSE: CAG), is introducing a
line of five premium sauces that bring the authentic, vibrant
flavors of P.F. Chang's to your
home. Created with guidance from P.F.
Chang's co-founder Philip
Chiang, the new collection of sauces range from sweet to
spicy, with a mix of bold flavors featuring carefully chosen
ingredients. Available in glass bottles accented with bright colors
that mirror the sauces lively flavors, the collection includes Kung
Pao, Mongolian, Teriyaki, Sesame and Soy Sauces.
"Our culinary teams worked very hard to ensure that P.F. Chang's Home Menu Sauces are representing
the carefully hand-crafted flavors found in our restaurants," said
P.F. Chang's co-founder Philip Chiang. "Each sauce is different with its
own unique personality, flavor and premium ingredients. We are
excited to bring these sauces to home cooks for the first
time."
While Asian food is immensely popular with Americans – more than
three in four consumers eat Chinese food – only one quarter make
dishes at home.1 The most frequently-cited barriers
include:
- Lacking the knowledge to prepare a dish
- Concerns that the cooking will be too complicated
- Worries that homemade dishes won't be as good as a
restaurant-prepared entree
The Sauces from P.F. Chang's Home
Menu eliminate those barriers by providing premium flavors that are
versatile and easy to use. The sauces were designed to mimic wok
cooking, clinging to other ingredients instead of pooling up on the
plate.
With P.F. Chang's Home Menu
Sauces, home cooks can enjoy authentic P.F.
Chang's flavor paired with any combination of meats, seafood
and vegetables they choose. The full collection includes:
Kung Pao Sauce: The
perfect balance of spicy, sweet and tangy, this Kung Pao Sauce gets its kick from fermented
chili bean sauce and chili flakes which are complimented with apple
juice concentrate and vinegar. Toss in a few peanuts and prepare
with chicken for a satisfying stir fry. Kung Pao can liven up a
vegetable crudité; serve as a marinade and basting sauce for
grilled skirt steak; or pair with PF Chang's Home Menu Pork and
Chicken Dumplings.
Mongolian Style BBQ Sauce: Best known for pairings with
beef and vegetables, this versatile sauce shines as a marinade or a
finishing sauce. The deep flavor profile comes from a blend of
smoked black pepper, sweet molasses and soy sauce, igniting bold
flavors found throughout Asia.
Designed as a marinade, stir-fry, and grilling sauce, the flavor
attributes perfectly compliment beef, lamb, poultry, and
vegetables.
Teriyaki Sauce: For those who enjoy sweetness in their
dishes, teriyaki presents the flavors of pineapple juice
concentrate and sake wine. Teriyaki is ideally suited for a
marinade or to complement grilled proteins, as soy, sake, and
pineapple caramelize beautifully during cooking and basting,
bringing "umami" flavors to your palate.
Sesame Sauce: P.F. Chang's
Home Menu take on sesame sauce is simple yet bold. Sweet tangy and
roasted notes are born from the blend of toasted sesame seeds,
ginger, michiu-flavored wine and brown sugar. This "sauce" also is
just dynamite as a crisp-bright flavorful salad dressing, with your
favorite mix of lettuce and vegetables.
Soy Sauce: The classic accompaniment to any Chinese meal,
the P.F. Chang's Home Menu soy sauce is brewed using traditional
Japanese methods for a complex yet clean flavor. Balanced
carefully, this soy is an amazing alternative to season soups and
salads replacing the traditional use of salts, with more
complex-tasty flavor.
P.F. Chang's Home Menu Sauces
will inspire a wide range of uses and dishes. At
www.pfchangshomemenu.com, home cooks can find suggested recipes for
each sauce and watch helpful videos that guide you through each
step of the recipe. You can also explore P.F. Chang's other offerings, including frozen
entrees, snacks and appetizers and

With more than 300 P.F. Chang's locations operating worldwide,
the brand founded by Phillip Chiang
and partner Paul Fleming in 1993 has
become synonymous with premium Asian dining. The P.F. Chang's Home
Menu collection, introduced in 2011, brings the authentic taste of
the restaurants at home with easy-to-prepare versions of the most
popular dishes.
P.F. Chang's Home Menu Sauces are
now available in the Asian foods section at grocery stores and mass
retailers nationwide. The Kung Pao, Mongolian, Teriyaki and Sesame
Sauces have a suggested retail price of $3.89 and the Soy Sauce has a suggested price of
