I’m a Zimbabwean 🇿🇼 who has stayed half of her life in Malawi 🇲🇼

If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.

Will make a series of posts on this.

    Peruvian rocoto sauce is pepper-based, although China has my favorite peanut-buttery spicy sauce called 火锅填料, hot pot dipping sauce, usually made with a sesame seed base and commonly used as a condiment for hotpot：

    Its not common or uncommon, I’ve seen it at a few Asian supermarkets in the US, but you can very easily make your own by getting sesame seed paste at most markets or creamy peanut butter and mix it with some 重庆火锅底料, chongqing Hot pot base，which is available at most Asian markets and usually looks like this:

    You can throw a your desired amount of that brick(1x1 cm cross-section is a good start) into any dish you’re cooking and mix in as much spicy complex flavor as you like.

    That’s my favorite cooking ingredient
