When I ferment a batch of peppers, I always retain the water, bottle it up, and store it in the fridge for use in sauces, soups, or other dishes. Depending on the type of peppers used, this water can have an awesome taste. I believe this recipe captures a similar flavor.
You said these peppers are native to Hawaii. 🤔 The Hawaiian Chile is not native, but was actually introduced to Hawaii around 1815, and was called ‘nioi, by the Hawaiians, a generic name given to all chiles with second names based on its shape such as ‘nioi kamakahala’ for round or ‘eye shaped’ types.
How fun! We always have a bottle of chili pepper water in our fridge. In Hawaii we often put it in stew! But you can really dash it in anything from saimin (Hawaiian-style ramen) to Japanese curry or onto your eggs of course. Never thought to add ginger though. I'll give it a try next time.
Over here in the UK last year I had a batch of ginger that was labelled as Hawaiian Ginger and it had a blue layer under the skin... do you know of this type (or is it a European marketting thing?)
@@markzambelliHmmm. In Hawaii most ppl will think of the red flower of the decorative Hawaiian ginger plant, which is not cultivated for eating (although “normal” ginger is also grown here). Never heard of the blue ginger myself, but it just might be that I’m not that educated in ginger varieties! Haha.
Hawaiian Chili Pepper water is not typically fermented. I kept my Hawaiian Chilis over winter indoors last year and the bush was full of red chilis this year !
They sell something similar in Puerto Rico in small Bacaradi rum bottles at the side of the road. It's called Pique, and it's awesome. It's nice to see a new video pop up.
Looks interesting, will have to give it a go. Just with the salt are you able to give a weight? Just here in Australia we don't usually use kosher salt so it can get a bit confusing as to what a tablespoon is. Looks like you used rock salt here?
@@PepperGeek They for sure are not. I'm from Kauai and can confirm some of the Hawaiian aunties ferment their Hawaiian Chili Pepper water, and some don't. It's common knowledge that lots of families have their own preferred recipes, like you said you can experiment with this recipe in many ways in terms of ingredients. The original recipe was a no vinegar just water and salt + peppers ferment in the ancient days when they didn't have garlic, ginger, or vinegar nor refrigerators.
I still watch your videos. It makes me sad that you guys do less videos now days.😢🎉
Maybe they will be starting a family. Either way I wish them all the best
You guys inspired me to sell pepper 🌶️ Sauce and everyone loves it. So big thanks to you both.

Super easy recipe. I would love to try with hotter varieties. Going to get a copy of that book.

Nioi or Hawaiian Chilli's are a canoe crop that were brought to the islands when the first polynesians arrived to Hawaii Ne

Mrs. Pepper Geek if you wanna eat a good Lau lau or other Hawaiian food, you can get it in Tijuana.
After reading the title, I thought it was going to be a drink, like a pepper wine or something. I was gonna say, that would kick your butt.
