December 18th, 2019: Category Spotlight – Hot Sauces Go Global

“The increased consumption of Asian and Mexican-style foods, coupled with a growing immigrant population and the increased familiarity of global regional cuisines, has facilitated the market for the growth and demand of new and innovative products, especially those with traits such as organic and non-GMO.

“We are starting to move away from extreme heat and sweet-spicy sauces like sriracha are waning. The focus is shifting toward fermented flavors like those seen in Korean-inspired gochujang, Indian and South East Asian-influenced sauces, and those that impart umami flavors.”

“Breakfast in Malaysia is often a green spread slathered on grilled, buttered bread. It’s pandan kaya, a sweet coconut jam seasoned with intriguingly grassy-tasting tropical pandan (screw pine) leaves”.


 

Feb 1st,  2016 – Trends

“The toast trend that’s sweeping NY is great and everything, but we can’t exactly live on bread alone, can we? Which is why lately we have become pretty obsessed with spreads and jams that pack a flavor punch while perfectly complementing the bread. Our current favorites are the creamy, coconut Pandan Kaya from Auria’s Malaysian Kitchen…”


 

August 28th, 2015: Meat Your Match

“Home-cooked Malaysian grub from Flatbush’s Auria’s Malaysian Kitchen takes center stage, duly supported by an array of delicious fermented beverages. This is the Brooklyn-based writer and craft beer expert’s second beer dinner in the space, a speakeasy-style garden stashed deep in the heart of Brooklyn and run by a Malaysian Chef who practically oozes authenticity. “Chef Auria Abraham has started her own line of killer sambals, fiery and flavorful in equal measure,” explains Bernstein. “Her food has deep family roots, as legit as anything cooked in a Malaysian grandma’s kitchen.”

“I consulted with Auria Abraham a few years ago on how to make this wrapper. Auria, who is from Malaysia, is a blogger and food entrepreneur marketing her wonderful spicy hot chili sambal to the adventurous foodies. Auria offered me her poh pia skin recipe, which is included below. I must admit that I have yet to master the making of this wrapper and am so envious when I observe Auria in the kitchen making them.”

March 5th, 2014 – Make This Meal: Malaysian Jumbo Shrimp Sambal with Garlicky Greens

“We’ve recently become obsessed with Malaysian cuisine, thanks in no small part to a delicious, home-cooked meal by Auria Abraham, who introduced us to the spicy, fishy, garlicky and all around delicious cuisine of her home country. Seeing a gap in the city’s Malaysian offerings, Abraham has been lighting up food events like Brooklyn Night Bazaar and the Malaysian Winter Market in Bryant Park, where she served over 2,000 people her Beef Rendang Sliders and Sweet & Spicy Ilkan Bilis.”


 

 

January 20th, 2014 – “Just like the stinkiest of French cheese have delicious flavors, this chili sauce definitely requires a little bit of an adventurous palate. With its chunky texture, sambal stands up well to the cooking process, so it can be added to soups, stews and braises without getting lost in other flavors. It’s also great spooned over anything you’re already adding hot sauce to, like eggs, rice and sandwiches.”

Eating in Translation

Sept 2013 – “They tease you, these popiah (two for $7). As with other fresh spring rolls (fresh in the sense of not-deep-fried), their supple skins don’t quite conceal the pleasures inside. Watching yours in the making — the wheat-flour wrappers are painted with hoisin sauce and a homemade hot sauce, filled with carrot and jicama cooked in shrimp stock, and garnished with leaf lettuce, cilantro, and crispy shallots — only heightens the anticipation.”


 

March 2013 – “I headed there on day one intent on locating Auria (of Auria’s Malaysian Kitchen) since a FB friend had been posting mouth watering pics of her dishes for some time. I wound up waiting on line for 45 minutes to get a taste of  her spicy crab sliders, possibly the most sought after chow, and definitely the longest line.”
