Our culinary horizons are ever-expanding with flavours that reflect global influences. Who would have guessed that Sriracha sauce would be so popular that major burger chains would adopt it as a key burger seasoning? Take yourself on a culinary excursion through the international aisle of your grocery store to change-up your pantry with some of the hottest new flavour staples.

Start off with a simple taste test and then experiment by adding them to your traditional favourites like pot roast, meat loaf, burgers and more.

As a primer, let’s talk Kecap Manis for starters: Kecap Manis is a soy sauce based condiment used like a ketchup in countries where Indonesian cuisine is the foundation for cooking. I’ve added it to a pot roast recipes for a Vietnamese flavour shake-up. I found my Kecap Manis at our local Dutch deli.

  • 4 lb (2 kg) Beef Pot Roast (e.g. Cross Rib, Blade or Brisket)
  • 2 tbsp EACH minced fresh gingerroot and rice vinegar
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp red chili pepper flakes
  • ⅓ cup EACH soy sauce and Kecap Manis (or teriyaki sauce)
  • Asian Slaw (recipe follows)
Instructions
  1. Pat pot roast dry. Coat beef on all sides with flour. Season beef generously all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add roast, brown well on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove roast from pan. Transfer beef and any juices to slow cooker.
  2. Add gingerroot, rice vinegar, garlic, chili flakes, soy sauce, Kecap Manis and 1 cup water to Dutch oven. Cook, stirring to remove any brown bits from bottom of pan.

    Great idea for the new place for new recipes for old favourites. And what an awesome recipe to start things off with. Wishing I had it over the weekend when I made my pot roast. Can’t wait to try this sometime in the future. Keep up the good work.

    Cooked this for three hungry friends after a day on the ski slopes.
    Its a fantastically easy meal to prep (it cooked while we skied) and tremendously satisfying.
    The Asian slaw was a great pairing.
    Will definitely cook this again!
