Balance My Life

Blue Dragon - The East Made Easy!

I know we are all trying to cook/eat healthier - but some days there is just not enough hours in the day to cook a gourmet meal between school pick-ups and swimming lessons.

 

I am all about healthy eating, and finding ways to make my life easier and more balanced.

 

I was sent samples of a new product line called BLUE DRAGON to try. I was hesitant as it is pre-made sauces, but lets face it a chef I am not and I never seem to be able to get the AUTHENTIC taste of oriental cooking to a point that my family will eat it.

 

The first sauce I tried was the Green Curry - SIMPLE - cut up chicken and all the vegetables you can find in your fridge - saute and add the sauce - simmer or put it all in the slow cooker.

 

I was shocked at how authentic it tasted, how QUICK it was to make and that my family liked it. WIN WIN.

 

My kids found it a little spicy so adding some coconut milk to my next batch took the spice factor down a few notches.

 

BLUE DRAGON comes in a variety of cooking sauces and on their website they have a variety of HEALTHY recipes to try.

Blue Dragon is available at Metro, IGA/Sobeys across Ontario and Quebec.


The East Made Easy
Make your everyday fare extraordinary
with new Blue Dragon health conscious and authentic Asian offering


Toronto, November 2011 – Coming to Canadian woks this month is a new line of Asian Stir-Fry mixes, cooking sauces and pastes that deliver innovative and authentic Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese flavours to your table. Meeting the demands of busy Canadians who prioritize healthy eating and enjoy flavourful dishes but have little time to prepare them, Blue Dragon’s new cooking products allow you to shake up your routine with inspired meals ready in as little as five minutes. Just add your choice of fresh vegetables and meats to the ready-to-serve sauces and you’re done!


Unlike other popular Asian food brands, Blue Dragon uses only the highest quality natural and authentic ingredients with little to no additives. Remarkably, each sauce, seasoning, and paste is made with basics that can be found in your kitchen pantry — you can actually pronounce the ingredients! Blue Dragon just acts as your sous-chef and does the prep work for you! The line is entirely free of MSG and the sodium levels are also much lower than those found in competing brands. Less salt not only answers a growing dietary concern among Canadians, but it allows for a more authentic Asian taste experience that is often misrepresented by the high-fat, salty, take-out food that most people associate with Asian cuisine. The line comprises a variety of Asian cooking staples like coconut milk, fish sauce, nuoc cham (vietnamese dipping sauce) and sesame oil, as well as ten definitive Stir-Fry pouches, cooking sauces, and curry pastes that are unique to the brand.


Disclosure: I was given product by Blue Dragon to test. I was not asked to blog about it nor was I paid to do so. If I write about a product it is because I truly enjoyed it.
