this week i'm featuring our mongolian sauce and our silk spicy sauce. both are on our dinner for two feature this week. be sure to check out our menu for more delicious sauces, and keep an eye out here for more "get to know... our sauces"
the mongolian sauce is a soy-based sauce, with a "hint of garlic and ginger" (thanks chef travis!), which makes it sweeter and kind of salty. we add shiitake mushrooms, caramelized white onions and green onion sprigs, and the resulting flavor is a sweet, gingery concoction. the best meat to pair with the mongo (as we affectionately call it here) sauce is beef, but it tastes pretty awesome with chicken too. wine-wise, it'd be best to pair the mongolian beef with a red wine, like our big fire pinot noir, a red zin, like our rosenblum or rombauer zinfandels, or our lioco indica.
the silk spicy sauce is a teriyaki-based, spicy chili sauce. we add minced garlic, caramelized white onions and snow peas to the wok for a really great, spicy flavor. this is definitely one sauce you have to be hot and spicy lover to like! we recommend pairing this sauce with chicken, duck, pork or shrimp. pair the silk spicy with our selbach-oster riesling, kung fu girl riesling (which is *awesome*), or nigl freiheit gruner veltliner (with the shrimp) to really bring out the spiciness and flavor in the sauce.
