It's Mexican, Asian, a Sauce, Candy ... It's Chamoy! | Beyond the Menu
On a scorching summer day, the quest for the perfect Michelada leads us on an exploration of one of Mexico's most beloved condiments: chamoy. The irresistible blend of salty, sweet, and spicy flavors found in this sauce has become a star in Mexican cuisine, enhancing everything from fruits and candy to drinks. But where did chamoy come from? Was it introduced by Filipino-Chinese immigrants or the Japanese? And what exactly is its connection to Hawaii? Join us on this delicious journey as we uncover the global roots of this popular Mexican condiment that will leave your taste buds tingling and your mind buzzing with curiosity.

It’s a history show, it’s a mystery series, it’s a celebration of multicultural cuisine, sometimes it’s even a science program, all set against the backdrop of mouth-watering food cinematography.

This Fiery Hot Sauce Uses A Pepper Lost To History | KQED Beyond the Menu
Переглядів 36 тис.21 день тому
Have a glass of milk ready, because sambal is bringing the heat. There is no ONE sambal. Although there are over 200 different varieties of this spicy hot sauce in Indonesia alone, the chili pepper has been the one common key ingredient in every recipe for centuries . . . or so we thought. There’s evidence of sambal hundreds of years before the chili pepper arrived in Asia. So what the heck did...

    Thank you so much for doing this story! Having grown up in Hawaii, I always suspected there HAD to be some sort of connection between saladitos and the ubiquitous li hing mui. Li hing mui is EVERYWHERE in Hawaii, and you can buy li hing powder to put on all kinds of stuff (and you can get li hing flavor on your shave ice, etc.). The biggest connection? Chili mango here, versus li hing mango in Hawaii. Essentially the same thing!

    Long pepper is from north india ,black pepper from south india and red long pepper is from indonesia...romans used long pper from north india first then shifted to south indian blak pepper or black gold that made south india the richest province in world for almost a millenia.the long pepper tastes like black pepper mixed with ginger garlic paste (slight sourness)..greeks and romans used it for medicine,food and also to flavour wine.

    We went there, and it was terrible, they cook it in salt meaning it doesn’t necessarily have flavor but you will wake up the next day extreme,ly thirsty. The house of prime rib has no proper crust and no flavor! This was easily the worst I have had. Your better of going to sun dance which is somewhat close, and at a cheaper price. Or the best way is just to make it at home.
