As you may have noticed, I am an Equal sweetener fan! As a zero calorie sweetener, it is a great alternative to sugar and there are so many delicious recipes found at the Equal Canada Facebook page.

Lately Equal Canada released a new product: The Yellow Canister. I’ve heard such great things about this package: wide opening that makes it easy to scoop, a tight lid, etc. I am really eager to use it in my recipes. For Valentine’s Day, I prepared great Hearth shaped chocolate chip cookies using Equal Products. But I did not have the chance to use the Yellow canister. It was not available in my local Wal-Mart. Eager to test this new package,  I decided to head to another Wal-Mart store.

Before going out shopping, I chose a recipe from Equal Facebook page. This week’s recipe is : Asian Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry! Why I chose it? Because it is really easy and takes 15 minutes to prepare! I am always looking for easy recipes, that contain lots of vegetables and ready in less than 30 minutes!

Unfortunately, I did not find the Yellow Canister  in the Wal-Mart store! It seems like it is not popular in my town! You can take a look at my shopping experience in this Google+ album. The only Equal Canada products available in the store were the Equal Spoonful and the Equal Packets. I bought both packages.

For the purpose of the recipe, I went with the Equal spoonful. It will be easier to use than the packets.

  1. Love this recipe will have to try it, I know what you mean about the canister I work in a wal-mart in Canada & have been after the Dept MGR to talk to her buyer to get it in, It has worked before on certain product. After all they want customers to shop there carry what the customer wants.
    Okay did you use ready made hoisin sauce or made your own?

  2. That looks so good! I never really thought about people cooking with Equal. I figured it was used instead of sugar in coffee or tea but it never occured to me that you would want to substitute it in other things too.

  3. I feel badly for you that you can’t find the canister, it is pretty awesome. But, you are making do with what is available and it looks awesome.
