Today I discovered a bottle of Tomato Passata, that was half empty, sitting in the alcohol cabinet. Why was it there? Someone used it while I was away from home. The Passata looked still OK. I decided to make Tomato Sauce. First I was planning to make it Italian OR Mexican flavour, but I changed my mind and made it Korean flavour. The result was fantastic. The Sauce was great with Chicken, Tofu, Chips, Vegetables, OR anything. If you need to use up leftover Passata, try this recipe.
