辣椒酱
只要来到南洋,香辣的灵魂无处不在,华人的家乡菜也不得不经辣椒洗礼——厨房灶脚自备一樽家制的辣酱,唇齿间强调自家风味,再以石磨亲手磨成浆汁,是颇为自傲的事。红艳辣椒衬以蒜米粒,辣气伴着蒜香,是一种温暖的刺激,把旧南洋的记忆全都唤醒了。
Sos Cili
Malaya, where people from all over the world journey to find the essence of spice, and in particular – Chili. Most local dishes are often baptized with chili. Often homemade, Chinese families will always have a glass of chili sauce in their kitchens, which are made by converting chilies into juice that’s rich in both taste and texture. Older Chinese folks are very proud of the chili sauce they make, each with their own distinct preference. Mix fresh red chili with garlic paste and you’ll get a spicy, strong smell which stimulates warmth in the stomach. It can also be a powerful trigger to help people recall lost memories.
