Sunday meal with Vilma Molden and Rose Yi who hail from the same small Filipino town but only met in Omaha, Nebraska.
Spice & Recipe traces the origin of soy sauce while showcasing the making of Chicken Pancit, a traditional noodle dish from the Philippines. There are at least 12 varieties of soy sauce in Southeast Asia, while the condiment made its way to the United States via Hawaii at the beginning of last century. One hundred years later, soy sauce is the third most used condiment in America, after ketchup and mustard.
Out of some 7,000 islands of the archipelagic state of the Philippines, Vilma Molden and Rose Yi happen to come from the same island and town of Tubod, Lanao del Norte, but only met in Omaha, Nebraska. Soon after meeting, they realized that their fathers were former colleagues, a fact that strengthened their U.S. born friendship. The Filipino-American community is the second largest Asian-American group in the United States.
Spice & Recipe is a weekly show that you can watch locally in Omaha, Nebraska on KPAO-TV, Cox 22 or Century Link 89, and worldwide on the NAM YouTube channel or this website.
