When you see “Sriracha” written or hear it spoken, what do you normally think of? For many Americans, the bottle with the Rooster and the signature green top immediately comes to mind.

And it’s definitely no surprise! The Huy Fong brand of Sriracha, also known as “Rooster Sauce,” is the most well known brand of American Sriracha sauces, and is known world over. By the way, the rooster is on the bottle because it is the Chinese Zodiac symbol of Huy Fong owner, David Tran. 🙂

Sriracha is a chili sauce comprised of the following simple ingredients:

• Chili peppers

What is Japanese Eggplant?

Japanese eggplant is called “nasu” in Japan. This eggplant is quite different from our American eggplant. The nasu is slender, smaller, and not as bitter as our American eggplant.

The skin of this eggplant is thin, and the flavor is sweet. Additionally it also has way fewer seeds than our American version and is a member of the Nightshade family, which also includes potatoes and tomatoes.

This versatile eggplant is great baked, broiled, steamed, stir fried, and grilled!

We recently returned from a ONCE IN A LIFETIME TRIP TO JAPAN! The word “incredible” doesn’t even begin to describe it. I was supposed to run the Tokyo Marathon on March 1, 2020. However it was cancelled for all except the elite and wheelchair athletes. I am neither one of those, so I was unable to run. The cancellation was due to the coronavirus situation.
