Tin Sing Foods

Beans, Beans, Super Bowl Beans

What does Chinese food and the Super Bowl have in a common? Absolutely nothing. So we’re shamelessly posting a recipe using a combination of Tin Sing’s Chinese BBQ Sauce and Classic Sweet and Sour Sauce to jump on the Super Bowl band wagon. Truth be told this baked bean appetizer made its debut over the Christmas holiday at a family dinner and everyone loved it. It was only after the beans got a thumbs up that the secret was revealed. We’ve always touted that Tin Sing’s Chinese BBQ Sauce was versatile but who would have thought of bean dip? This isn’t a traditional baked bean recipe which tends to be on the smokey side. This is best described as sweet and savory. Serve with a big bowl of our Wicked Wonton Chips for dipping or make a “nacho-like” platter by piling the beans atop a platter of the chips.

2011 Holiday Boutiques – Thank you!

A big thank you to our Tin Sing customers, both new and old, for coming out to support us at the craft shows this year. Thank you also to the show organizers for providing us with a venue to promote Tin Sing products. Given the difficult economic times we weren’t sure what to expect. It was apparent shoppers were more selective about their purchases this year. As our father Poy would say, “People still have to eat even if they can’t afford much.” Dad was right then and now. People still crave that special Tin Sing taste.

We feel blessed as a family and a company to have the support of our customers, retailers, and good friends after all these years. It’s always fun visiting with guests at the boutiques and chatting about our favorite subject…FOOD, glorious food! We love seeing old customers and going down memory lane. What is most enjoyable about attending these shows is the personal connections we make. It’s these connections that built our family business. Our mother and father understood this from the start. It was important to them that every customer feel valued for their patronage. Customers, employees, suppliers, and vendors are all part of the Tin Sing family.

As we look towards 2012 we remain optimistic about future plans for Tin Sing Foods. We invite you to stay personally connected with us through Tin Sing’s website and Facebook. Let us know what you love about our products, what we can be doing better, or take a walk down memory lane and tell us your favorite Tin Sing story.

Have a safe and joyous New Year! See you in 2012.

Holiday Party Menu Dilema

The holidays are upon us which means you’re either planning to host a party, attend one, or both. Thank goodness for the big box stores that offer everything in bulk to rescue us from having to actually plan a menu. While convenient, think of how excited YOU get when you know you’re attending yet another (insert big box store name here) party.

Why not surprise your guests with something a bit more special at your party? You can easily jazz up table fare with one or several of Tin Sing’s sauces. Tin Sing’s Plain Wicked Wonton Chips go nicely with our Classic Sweet and Sour sauce as a chip and dip alternative. (So addicting, we’ve been told customers pour Tin Sing’s Classic Sweet and Sour Sauce on everything, even plain white rice.)

You can create delicious party wings with Tin Sing’s Chinese BBQ sauce. For a Pan-Asian twist try adding chopped basil and Thai chili peppers for a little heat. Don’t be afraid to experiment with our sauces. We won’t be offended. What makes Tin Sing’s BBQ sauce a customer favorite is that it’s so versatile; unlike most traditional Chinese BBQ sauces. It can even be used to make a BBQ Chicken Salad. Top it with Tin Sing’s Plain Wicked Wonton Chips of course.

If you enjoy fish, Tin Sing’s Chinese BBQ sauce also tastes great on salmon. You’ll get a beautiful looking salmon with a slightly carmelized glaze. Just broil your fish during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Top with toasted sesame seeds, julienned green onions, and voila – instant main dish! Prefer vegetarian dishes? Check out our recipe page for more serving suggestions.

Visit any of our retailers to try one or all of Tin Sing’s sauces. Click on the Locations page. Hopefully there’s a store in your neighborhood. If not, pester your local grocery manager to carry our products. In the mean time we’re happy to send you some bottles if you order online. Just leave a little extra time for shipping before your big get-together.

May you and yours have a soul-delicious, Tin Sing holiday season!

Summer Grilling

TSFadmin — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 20:27:10 +0000

For most families summer vacation doesn’t officially start until the outdoor grill is christened…usually July 4th weekend. Finally, everyone can exhale from busy end-of-school year activities and gather ’round good food and company. Why not jazz up standard barbeque fare with Tin Sing’s Chinese BBQ sauce? Magically transform boring chicken wings into little bites of heaven. Or create Island-style chicken skewers by simply basting skewers once or twice while cooking. To see Tin Sing’s Sweet and Spicy Sticky Wing recipe click on the Recipe link.

For non-meat eaters or those who prefer seafood, salmon cooks up nicely with our BBQ sauce. It’s a party favorite that always gets rave reviews. It’s so simple to prepare, you can even skip the grill and broil it in the oven. The result is a beautifully glazed salmon with a slightly sweet flavor. Garnish with fresh pineapple rings and toasted sesame before plating. A no-measure recipe is provided below. Adjust ingredients to suit your own taste.

1-1.5 lbs of salmon (One salmon from Costco feeds a crowd.)

Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and a little salt.

Marinade salmon in Tin Sing BBQ sauce for 20 minutes, then baste again while cooking.

For easy clean up, place salmon on foil and and cookie sheet. Do not tent the foil. You don’t want to steam

the fish. Bake at 385 degrees for approximately 30 minutes, then broil on high for the last 10 minutes to glaze.

Cut into individual pieces so guests can easily serve themselves.
