Taste Testing MORE Global Ingredients we NEVER KNEW EXISTED! | Sorted Food

[@Sarah-ic4yu]

Yall should do a series touring different grocery stores and markets! My husband went to a wegmans in the US for the first time the other day and he was amazed. I’d love to see what other stores & markets in all parts of the world look like and where the chefs frequent!

[@SortedFood]

Great idea, thanks for the suggestion!

[@megandavis9914]

I’d love to see this!

[@Learn_Daily]

Shopping with a chef would be great content.

[@kjyost]

Love the idea! I spend a lot of time randomly buying random & odd (to me) ingredients from our local Indian, Korean, Chinese, Filipino (I knew the breakfast dish was tocino from the past vid) Arab, British (I’m in 🇨🇦), Carribean, Eastern European and Latin American markets. We’ve got a ton of diverse food stores in my city of 800k. I’ve randomly brought home a pig head, sugar cane and numerous other interesting things I wouldn’t have seen elsewhere. I suppose I’m different as these sorts of places excite me rather than scare me.

That shrimp is a key ingredient in a variety of kimchis. I just refreshed my supply recently

[@SortedFood]

Nice 👌

[@TheHaubs11tx]

😂 that shrimp is a key ingredient in any dish that calls for it to be an ingredient and any dish where you want to use it as an ingredient makes sense

[@ohhhhmydarling]

@@TheHaubs11tx What are you babbling about? They meant the shrimp are traditionally used to achieve the specific flavors expected in kimchi. Every single food in the world could potentially become an ingredient to someone who wants it to be, but good luck putting these guys on ice cream or in a cake.

[@TheHaubs11tx]

@@ohhhhmydarling yes and I meant the shrimp are used for specific flavors and other dishes that use the shrimp. What did you not understand about English?

[@AllOverGrim]

They're also used as a condiment for boiled pig trotters in Korea

[@TheShadowLink87]

As a Korean the most thing I link the Saeujeot (or the salted shrimp paste) is with bo-ssam, which is a braised pork dish with things like doenjang(Korean miso), spring onion, etc to remove the porky smell, along with some nice fresh kimchi. You dip the pork in to the shrimp for some flavor and have some kimchi with it or wrap it in some lettuce like a Korean traditional ssam. Lovely dish :D

I love your show's format. When other shows introduce ingredients from foreign countries, they usually just say, " Hey, look at these strange-looking food ingredients other countries eat! and it tastes weird!" However, your show introduces the new ingredients with information on how they are used and how they taste when they are used in the proper place. That is great!

[@DamnNake]

Salted Shrimp(a.k.a 새우젓, saeu-jeot) are kind of secret sauce in Korea. It used in all over South Korea but especially loved in Jeolla Province. Cooks usually put salted shrimp while they are cooking, but also served with food as banchan, to guests to control saltiness in their favor.

[@supykun]

It's also heavily used in Gyeongsang Province cuisine too. Generally the more south you go the heavier they season the saeujeot into their dishes and sauces.

[@Happy013-l5r]

[@kimcusack9484]

Beautifully said

[@vaibhavguptawho]

I think a really simple add for this sort of series would be to ask the normals how they'd use these ingredients after experiencing them. They don't have to cook in the video, but at least get them actively thinking about and workshopping a couple of applications, both for their benefit and the viewers'.

[@fabe61]

They kinda do that already though no?

[@malcolmfenech1749]

Fun fact about the Baobab tree: There are 8 species and as Ben mentioned 6 of those are only found in Madagascar - as for the other two one is found across Africa and the last is in Australia. The reason for this is a few hundred million years ago Australia and Africa were located quite close to each other in a land mass called Gondwana.

[@ngaireg7736]

We have some at the botanic gardens I work at. Love that a common name for it is the 'dead rat' tree - because the hanging fruit look like dead rats hanging by their tails.

In Malaysia, we have something that is practically identical with the Korean salted shrimp called 'cencalok'. It's a Malay condiment usually served with lime and chili. It has been dated back to the 16th century during the Melaka Sultanate.

[@ynnos5555]

Yes it’s a staple in many Asian cooking. In the Philippines we call it bagoong alamang. We used them as green mango dip, in stir fry and in stews.

[@scooterologyshm4575]

I say they share similar ways of making, but the outcome is different. Cincalok is made with tiny shrimp, salt plus rice, and it’s fermented and have sour taste. Bagoong alamak is also fermented so have pungent aroma. Korean Saewoo Jut is preserved, rather than fermented, so that’s the big part what makes Korean one different in taste and smell compared to the other ones.

[@bungaialoevera]

My aunt in the longhouse would add them to omelets.

Did you know.. different parts of asia has this version of salted shrimps. In Malaysia… we call this cincalok. We eat this as part of seasoning in a dish. The Nyonya people will make Cincalok omelette. Same 2 ingredients as Korea’s Gyeranjjim.

i was never a fan of eating the salted smol shrimp when i was young. But it is SO essential in most korean dishes! Making kimchi, sometimes you season your soondae soup (blood sausage soup), or sometimes dip braised pork trotters. I hated it growing up but man ever since i started cooking for myself.. its always in my grocery list

[@삐약이-q3s]

The pot that you used for Gyeranjjim is perfect!

[@Blo0dyMustard]

We have a similar ingredient to that salty little shrimp in Indonesia (we got it from Chinese cuisine). The difference is that it is dried after getting salted. It can be used as an additional umami ingredient to fried rice, stir fries, added to sambal, as topping, etc

[@tildessmoo]

Yes, and as Uncle Roger (who is from Malaysia, with a lot of similar ingredients to Indonesia) says, "use the right amount, not the white amount!" He also calls dried shrimp paste "white people kryptonite."

[@ridzuan94]

Yup, we have the same thing in Malaysia. We called it 'udang kering' which is common throughout Malaysia. But we also have the wet version like the Koreans, we call 'cencaluk' in the state of Melaka.

Here in Kenya we call the Baobab tree and fruit Mbuyu/Mabuyu. The pulp containing the seed is separated from the fibres and cooked in a spiced sugar syrup containing cardamom and chilli powder as well as red food dye. Its then packaged and sold in the streets and is especially loved by school children.

Grew up eating the baobab fruit in South Africa, we had two trees on our school grounds. Cream of Tartar is derived from the baobab tree.

[@SortedFood]

On your school grounds, wow, thats amazing!

[@Ghelasin]

Cream of Tartar can be extracted from many things, and while you _can_ get it from baobab, the vast majority of cream of tartar production comes from grapes, more specifically it's created as a byproduct during wine making.

[@AuroraBlacke]

It sounds like baobab trees and dragon fruit cacti have similar reproductive systems. We have a few dragon fruits that have climbed fairly high up and we have to check for open blooms every night during their pollination season so we can pollinate them by hand. We aren't picky about which plants pollinate which varieties, so we collect the mixed pollen in a small container, which we then use to pollinate all the blooms. Whatever pollen remains is dried and stored in the fridge. I wonder if the pollen of the baobab can also be collected and stored for future pollination attempts in the same way. Baobab trees are a heck of a lot taller but I don't doubt there'd be ways to do it, since it's doubtful that the people who harvest the fruit are just waiting around for them to all fall off the tree before collecting them.

Interesting to see that Verjus is considered a bit new and interesting. It's been a popular ingredient since the 90's here in Australia. Maggie Beer is well known for her use of it. Our best Verjus comes from the Barossa Valley in South Australia, but you can also get some great Verjus from the Margaret River area.

[@DeathMetalDerf]

Verjuice is even older than that. The ancient Romans used it quite a lot in cooking, and made a "sports drink" of a sort from it as well. Depending on where you are within the Roman Empire, it may have a slightly different name, but at the end of the day it's always the same thing. I use it for salad dressings and marinades, and it's great for building a pan sauce if you're like me and haven't touched a single drop of alcohol in 9.75 years. Good stuff indeed.

[@Azriel1066]

Roman Posca is amazing! Long live the Verjus.

[@Liutgard]

I do a lot of medieval cookery, and use verjus often. It adds a pleasant sharpness to a dish and opens up the flavor. Try it sometimes with chicken. My favorite is with a saupiquet sauce- carmelized onions, white wine, ginger, black pepper, saffron, and a dash of verjus. Simmer it down until the chicken is thoroughly tender. It's brilliant.

[@adambier2415]

I immediately guessed verjus/agresto on sight! And was surprised/excited to find out I was right. Some vineyard owners make it from the first cutting of the grapes; this allows the rest of the grapes to grow bigger and juicier. It’s a great sipping drink. I finish my pasta with verjus (when I can get my hands on it) and and olive oil to make something close to a butter sauce. So good.

I dunno if this is a Aussie thing, but I'm very familiar with verjus, which we all pronounce as "ver-juice". It's been on our 'posh vinegar' menu for ages. Probably because of our undisputed national treasure Maggie Beer and her close association with the Barossa Valley wine region of South Australia.

This is a salted shrimp in brine. In Malaysia it is used mainly as a sauce we called as CINCALOK. to prepare this sauce, we need chopped shallots, bird's eye chilli, and lime juice.

I've heard of the Baobab tree before and seen it in videos but didn't know it grew fruit. Never heard of any of the other things. Great job there guys!

WOW. I've seen Baobab trees, but I've never seen the fruit! That is SO COOL. And VERJUICE? I had no idea that still existed! It shows up in a ton of medieval recipes (especially from Northern Europe, because hey, no lemons), and its use goes back to ancient Rome (it shows up in some of Apicius's recipes)

I think you would like to try out "Kokum", a dried fruit from West India that when added to dhal gives it some lovely freshness!

This sounds absolutely delicious!

In Lebanon , In Summer up the mountains , Verjus called " Aseer Hossrom " is used as salad dressing in the famous Tabbouleh & Fattouch salalds & in other dishes , instead of lemons as citrus fruits are not widely available !

Verjuice was incredibly trendy in australia a few years ago thanks to Maggie Beer! Love it 😍

I just ordered some of the bamboo mushrooms. I love to make delicious ramen and stocks, so I’m just adding to my dried mushroom collection. Thanks as always, this was fun.
