Few of the ingredients in this dish are native to Samoa, but this Chinese import has become a Samoan staple. There are loads of variations. Use this as a base recipe and adjust it as you like. Pork and chicken make great sapasui, as does pisupo (canned corned beef). Mixed vegetables cook quickly and add a nice colour, but fresh vegetables like cabbage, carrot and broccoli also taste great in this dish. Serve hot with rice, taro, or green bananas. And if you have leftovers and want an awesome lunch, then try making a Sapasui Sandwich. Just butter two slices of bread and slap some sapasui in there, hot or cold.
Thank you for the recipie, I found your stuff on youtube, and I will try it. My husband is Samoan, so I will see if I can make it simolar to how his dad does (heres hoping) thank you for being clear on what ingrediants to buy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteI had this dish at a Samoan friends birthday and loved it, and plan to make it myself now that I have a recipe to follow.

ReplyDeleteGood luck! Hope it works out, and after you've tasted my version, feel free to put your own twists on it.

ReplyDeleteHelp!!! My mother-in-law asked me to be in charge of the food for her funeral.She said that when people talk about a funeral, they always talk about how goo or bad the food was! LOL! I am a great cook but not of Samoan food. I am palangi and have only been to one Samoan funeral 16 years ago.I need ideas and recipes for a menu to serve after the service.
