Fresh off the back of launching her authentically Singaporean Ginger & Garlic ‘Giga’ Chilli Sauce from the famous Hainanese Chicken Rice, Homi Kitchen founder, Megan Tan is now bringing the flavours of another classic Singaporean street food dish to the hot sauce table: the renowned Black Pepper Crab sauce, her Hei Hei Pepper Sauce.
The gutsy Black Pepper Crab was one of the most popular dishes at her sell out supper clubs last year, so creating the Homi Kitchen Hei Hei Pepper Sauce was the natural choice for Megan in her mission to share with the world the richness of Singaporean cuisine along with its vibrant flavours. Early five-star reviews from mailing list subscribers are already praising it for its authenticity, rich sweet & savoury flavours, and fiery kick!
Made with all-natural ingredients, the fresh ginger, garlic, and chillies give it a fragrant and uplifting aroma, with a strong peppery kick from the black pepper and the all-important white pepper often used in Chinese cuisine, which are balanced out with soy sauce and sugar. A jar of this in the cupboard will take cooks on a journey to Southeast Asia from the comfort their home kitchen and bring street food flavours to every meal.
Black Pepper Crab – Hei Hei Pepper Sauce
In traditional Singaporean cooking, black pepper sauce is added to a frying pan to flavour fried rice, fish, vegetables. Fans have also used it as a marinade for roast meats and vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for fried chicken & calamari, like a strong Asian BBQ sauce. It gives an instant sweet, savoury & peppery burst of flavour, without the need to add any other ingredients.
Homi Kitchen began during the pandemic, when Megan became homesick for her family & friends, and the food of her childhood, as she embarked on a life in London working abroad for the first time. A hearty Singaporean street food dinner for her social bubble became a passion for bringing comfort and connection through food, and the creation of the first Homi Kitchen product, the Giga Chilli Sauce, which became an instant hit.
Homi Kitchen’s Hei Hei Pepper Sauce is available now from the Homi Kitchen website, priced £7.49 (300g jar) and is available for nationwide delivery.
