With roots in the Peranakan cooking traditions of Penang, nyonya sauce is a garlic, chili and vinegar condiment that’s startlingly fresh for a hot sauce.
It’s produced by Ewe and Yishan of Mama Nyonya, a husband and wife team based in Central Taiwan. The recipe has been passed down from Ewe’s great grandmother, who prepared it daily for her family, and it now features garlic grown on Yishan’s family farm.
