Optional: Add a bit of Bullet Chili for the extra spiciness or serve on the side. This one will distract you from your moon viewing, but I think you’ll be happy about it.Ģ Tablespoon brown sugar, add more to taste if you prefer sweeter sauce.ģ Tablespoons Maruso Original or Ghost Pepper Soy PasteĢ Tablespoon white sesame paste (we suggest Dong He, but we’re sold out) or peanut butterģ Tablespoon Taiwanese Sha Cha (Bull Head) We also recommend Bullet sauce, a sesame-oil based garlicky chili crisp. Delicious and just a touch spicy not too 辣 hot and won’t distract you from your moon viewing. Maruso Soy Paste is a product that we love but haven’t talked about much-it’s made by one of the oldest soy sauce brewers in Taiwan, and they have a version made with Ghost Pepper powder. We came up with our own version of the sauces that started it all, and added some Taiwanese Sha Cha and Sesame Paste for a little extra moon power.

Or, “When one home BBQs, ten thousand homes smell amazing.” Where do they say what happens when ten thousand homes BBQ? Does the whole world smell amazing? Does the mouth of Chang’e water?

In grief, Houyi offered her preferred foods and incense (and in some versions, himself) in the courtyard, while the moon edged ever closer, in longing.
There are many conflicting motivations in the lore (husband love, husband hate, selflessness, narcissism, aren’t they all the same), but one way or another, Chang’e consumes Houyi’s elixir and floats to the moon with only 玉兔, her jade rabbit, for eternity. She was married to the mythological archer Houyi, who shot down nine of the ten suns scorching earth (the actual solution to Liu Cixin ’s Three Body Problem ) and was rewarded an elixir of immortality. The most well-known Chinese legend is about Chang‘e, the Chinese moon goddess.

This earth-obliging moon has inspired many origin stories, versions of which are found throughout Asia.
#MIDAUTUMN BBQ FULL#
Mid Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month (September 21st in 2021) and closely coincides with two other important celestial events that mark seasonal change: the Autumn Equinox-when the day and night are equally long-and the Harvest Moon-the first full moon of autumn or the last full moon of summer, depending on the year. A still from the The Tale of Princess Kaguya, produced by Studio Ghibli.
