It's time for innovation or aberration!!!! ⏰ ⏰ The iconic chip brand unveiled Sweet & Spicy Gochujang, a limited-time offering that celebrates the flavor of the Korean condiment. To get the flavor just right, Kettle collaborated with Chef Eric Choi of New York City's C as in Charlie, which is a 2023 Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient. Gochujang is a fermented chile pepper paste. And while recipes differ and there are many variations of the popular condiment, most versions of Gochujang include gochugara (Korean red chili peppers), yeotgireum (barley malt), chaphsal (sweet rice) menu guru (fermented soybean powder), and salt. The fermentation process gives the paste a subtle sweet flavor that balances the spiciness of the peppers and salt. It typically isn’t consumed on its own, and is instead added to things like marinades for meat dishes — like Korean bulgogi or broths. It’s also often added to other dipping sauces. Kettle’s interpretation of the paste doesn’t mention the inclusion of many of the traditional ingredients; however, it highlights a number of spices to create that iconic gochujang flavor with peppers, cayenne, garlic, and onion. The result is a flavor that Kettle says makes the chips both sweet and spicy at the same time, similar to the flavor imparted by its namesake. Would you like to try it? 😋 hashtag #FollowTheConversation

Today’s macchiato ☕ moment inspired me to reflect on the fascinating world of food science and its impact on our daily lives. I’m constantly amazed by the science behind what we consume. Take this macchiato, for example. Beyond its delightful taste and aroma, there’s a lot going on at the molecular level that makes this drink a favorite for many. Milk Froth : The creamy froth on top of a macchiato is the result of carefully steamed milk. The heating process denatures proteins, allowing them to trap air and create a stable foam. This not only enhances the texture but also impacts the flavor profile of the drink. Quality Coffee Beans : The richness of a macchiato largely depends on the quality of the coffee beans. Factors such as the origin, roasting process, and grind size all play a critical role in the final taste. During roasting, coffee beans undergo the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. This reaction is crucial for developing the brown color and complex flavors in the beans, contributing to the nutty, toasty, and caramel notes in coffee. Flavor Complexity: The delightful combination of bitter espresso and sweet milk creates a balanced flavor profile. Understanding the interaction of different taste compounds helps develop better coffee experiences, from selecting the right beans to perfecting the brewing process. As I enjoy this macchiato, I’m reminded of the importance of food science in enhancing our everyday experiences. Whether it’s ensuring the safety and quality of our food or innovating new flavors and textures, the role of a food scientist is as complex and rewarding as the beverages we enjoy. What’s your favorite break time snack, and have you ever thought about the science behind it? Share your thoughts below! #foodscience #coffeelovers #foodtechnology #foodinnovation #dailyscience

The term "sweet prawn tartar" typically refers to a dish made with finely chopped or diced sweet prawns (often raw or lightly cooked), mixed with various seasonings and served similarly to a traditional tartare. It combines the freshness of seafood with a sweet and possibly tangy flavor profile, often enhanced with ingredients like citrus juices, herbs, and sometimes a touch of sweetness from ingredients like honey or fruit. The exact ingredients and preparation can vary, but the key elements are the diced prawns and the tartare-style presentation.

Pudding's chinese name is 布丁,but in English its meaning is not as simple as what we say. It generally refers to all desserts, so there are many types of different shapes. The more famous ones include Yorkshire pudding, Irish black and white pudding, and Turkish roasted rice pudding. In addition, the proportions of ingredients in the pudding made by each country are different: Japan emphasizes the proportion of milk, while France mostly uses fresh cream.
