Sauce Packets are a great solution to lack of choices

Living in the Jungle has some limitations. There is a limited number of good ethnic restaurants, or just fine dining. There are also a limited choices of products one can buy in a Supermercado. Large Supermercados that offer products one is used to finding in a Safeway or Whole Foods / Molly Stones are far away, and they are expensive. This is why I started cooking my own meals - from scratch!

Well, not everything is from scratch. I try to use Sauce Packets for an easy way to get some familiar menus. For example, I like to use:

  • McCormick Chili powder
  • Simple Asia, Sesame Teriyaki marinade
I do have to buy these in the US. I am now looking for more pre-made sauce packets I can add to the shopping list for trips back to the US!
