Ancient Chinese Secret
2 tbsp Big Cove Foods ‘Ancient Chinese Secret’ spice blend
1/4 cup mushroom flavoured soy sauce, or regular soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1.5 tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp fish sauce
1/2 cup stock
2 tsp sugar
grapeseed oil
365 grams spaghetti noodles
1 lb ground pork
5 garlic cloves, sliced
ginger, minced
3 bundles bok choy, greens torn into strips and whites sliced thin, keep separate
4 oz shiitake mushroom, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 tbsp grape seed oil
Make the sauce first. In a small bowl stir together the Ancient Chinese Secret, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, fish sauce, stock and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to instructions. Be sure to strain it when it is al dente – a little on the firmer side. Do not rinse, set aside to be added later.
Meanwhile, in a large sauce pan over medium high heat, add about a tablespoon of grape seed oil until hot. Add the ground pork and cook until well browned, on the verge of burning. The key is to create a crispy pork. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Wipe out pan and put it back on heat.
Turn down the heat to medium and add 2 tbsp grapeseed oil. Once hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook until aromatic, 30-60 seconds. Add the bok choy stems, mushrooms and peppers to the pan and cook until just beginning to soften and add the sauce. Allow the flavours to simmer for 2-3 minutes and then add back your pork and toss in the noodles until well mixed. Add the bok choy greens and toss around until they begin to wilt.
Serve with a smile cause these noodles are the bomb.

Amazing! I put this on everything. It brings everything to the next level.
I love the ability to try so many flavours. Nicely packaged and reseal flawlessly so they keep the freshness.
This Taco Duo is amazing. Great taste.

Love this! I add it to yogurt! Texture and flavor is fantastic!
I am a chef and I ordered these last summer for BBQ season they were awesome! Will certainly re order soon! I would recommend these spices to anyone that is looking to take their BBQ reciepes to the next level.
This was amazing, I’ve already made the chickpea salad 4 times!!! I also made it for a few other people to try and they all loved it as well and asked where it was from!
My favourite spice blend. Delicious on any/all meat!
I traveled to Ontario for Christmas (2023) and brought Pouches of Big Cove Pick your Own Five. It was a big hit several years ago when I did it. Great feedback from everyone back then and everyone was very happy to recieve them again. The blends and recipes are great.
Had to order them all so we could try the ones we haven’t yet!
I purchased the Taco Enhancer product and first tried it when making some ground beef for my tacos. I tried the meat just using the taco spice and it did well just being on its own. It provided a reasonable amount of heat to the meat that wasn't overpowering but was noticeable. As I ate more of the meat with the spice I felt the heat of the product increase which was nice. If you don't like hot stuff, this is a good product to get you started to feel a little heat that is reasonable. If you like hot stuff, this probably won't do it for you but it does provide a small kick. It paired well with the ground beef as the meat really soaked up the spice.
We used this spice on a salad as it said it contained mango. While we typically start away from anything Porcine, this one is a must but. The museum and garlic mixed with the mango gives it a unique flavour that we didn't even realize we were missing from our cupboard until we tried it!
One of my favs
Obssessed.
