    At a Chinese , when you see a dish cooked in OK sauce , is this the OK brown sauce we used to buy ? Can't recall seeing OK sauce in years , but a web search seems to show this is what is used in some Chinese dishes .

    That's new to me, never seen a menu saying OK sauce but in answer to your second question, I have seen OK sauce still on sale. I think there are common ingredients in most brown sauces; OK, HP, Daddies etc and that it's the proportions which differ.

    I'm interested to hear more & hope someone knows.

          They do chicken in OK sauce and beef in OK sauce. They don't offer it as an extra portion though. Must try it sometime :dbgrtmb:
