Mexican food was an integral part of his upbringing. And yet, the dish that reminds him of home and family is a distinctly Chinese dish, or more accurately, Chinese-American dish: chop suey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chop suey actually came to his family through a Mexican restaurant owned by his great-grandmother and great-aunt. Back in the 1960s, the two women owned a restaurant in Los Angeles. Next door to their Mexican restaurant was a Chinese restaurant. \"It lasted for a brief time, and ultimately my [great-aunt] purchased the restaurant,\" says Fajardo. \"They merged the two restaurants, keeping the Asian staff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the women taught their new staff to make the Mexican dishes on their menu, they also learned some Asian dishes. Chop suey was one of them. But his great-aunt added distinctly Mexican bits to the recipe: cumin, jalapeno and beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#recipe\">Jump to the recipe\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story behind the creation of this Chinese-Mexican fusion dish may seem surprising, but it illustrates a culinary exchange not uncommon in places where different cultures and cuisines coexist. And it is especially true of Chinese food in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take, for example, the origin of chop suey itself. The dish originated in some of the first Chinese restaurants in America, many of them called chop suey houses. The story behind the dish's origin is filled with folklore, with many regions and people claiming to be its creator. But according to \u003ca href=\"//escholarship.org/uc/item/2bc4k55r.pdf\">a 2009 study\u003c/a> published in the \u003cem>Journal of Transnational American Studies\u003c/em>, there was no single creator. It probably evolved simultaneously in many restaurants. It was made by taking a humble dish made with fried animal intestines and vegetables and adapting it to the tastes of American customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Chinese restaurants in America began to serve the dish, they had the flexibility to use whatever ingredients were available and whatever sauces they found tasteful and convenient,\" writes Haiming Liu, a professor at California State Polytechnic University, in his 2009 paper. \"There are many different versions of chop suey when it was first spread across America. The only common practice was to use a wok to stir-fry a bundle of ingredients with an innovative sauce.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was nothing like the original dish eaten in China, which according to Liu was mostly a home-cooked dish that also \"varied from region to region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just chop suey that evolved to American palates. The vast majority of Chinese-American food did. In fact, Chinese cuisine in many countries has adapted to local tastes and ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese-Indian food, for example, folds in Indian spices, paneer (Indian cheese) and plenty of Indian vegetables like potato, okra and cauliflower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PeruvianChinese food blends in both cuisines and goes by the name of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-09-05/immigration-fuels-hot-asian-fusion-food-scene-lima\">\u003cem>chifa\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>. \u003c/em>It includes fried rice, called \u003cem>arroz chaufa,\u003c/em> that includes corn, a staple in Peru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/16/399637724/the-chinese-mexican-cuisine-born-of-u-s-prejudice\">The Salt has reported\u003c/a>, Chinese-Mexican food includes many staples of the local cuisine, like \"light-yellow deep-fried chilis.\" There are also rumors of chefs at Chinese restaurants marinating their pork in tequila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it seems only natural that a cuisine that has adapted to local tastes around the globe would continue to evolve in restaurant kitchens.

Mexican food was an integral part of his upbringing. And yet, the dish that reminds him of home and family is a distinctly Chinese dish, or more accurately, Chinese-American dish: chop suey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chop suey actually came to his family through a Mexican restaurant owned by his great-grandmother and great-aunt. Back in the 1960s, the two women owned a restaurant in Los Angeles. Next door to their Mexican restaurant was a Chinese restaurant. \"It lasted for a brief time, and ultimately my [great-aunt] purchased the restaurant,\" says Fajardo. \"They merged the two restaurants, keeping the Asian staff.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the women taught their new staff to make the Mexican dishes on their menu, they also learned some Asian dishes. Chop suey was one of them. But his great-aunt added distinctly Mexican bits to the recipe: cumin, jalapeno and beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"#recipe\">Jump to the recipe\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The story behind the creation of this Chinese-Mexican fusion dish may seem surprising, but it illustrates a culinary exchange not uncommon in places where different cultures and cuisines coexist. And it is especially true of Chinese food in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take, for example, the origin of chop suey itself. The dish originated in some of the first Chinese restaurants in America, many of them called chop suey houses. The story behind the dish's origin is filled with folklore, with many regions and people claiming to be its creator. But according to \u003ca href=\"//escholarship.org/uc/item/2bc4k55r.pdf\">a 2009 study\u003c/a> published in the \u003cem>Journal of Transnational American Studies\u003c/em>, there was no single creator. It probably evolved simultaneously in many restaurants. It was made by taking a humble dish made with fried animal intestines and vegetables and adapting it to the tastes of American customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Chinese restaurants in America began to serve the dish, they had the flexibility to use whatever ingredients were available and whatever sauces they found tasteful and convenient,\" writes Haiming Liu, a professor at California State Polytechnic University, in his 2009 paper. \"There are many different versions of chop suey when it was first spread across America. The only common practice was to use a wok to stir-fry a bundle of ingredients with an innovative sauce.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was nothing like the original dish eaten in China, which according to Liu was mostly a home-cooked dish that also \"varied from region to region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's not just chop suey that evolved to American palates. The vast majority of Chinese-American food did. In fact, Chinese cuisine in many countries has adapted to local tastes and ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese-Indian food, for example, folds in Indian spices, paneer (Indian cheese) and plenty of Indian vegetables like potato, okra and cauliflower.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PeruvianChinese food blends in both cuisines and goes by the name of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-09-05/immigration-fuels-hot-asian-fusion-food-scene-lima\">\u003cem>chifa\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem>. \u003c/em>It includes fried rice, called \u003cem>arroz chaufa,\u003c/em> that includes corn, a staple in Peru.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/04/16/399637724/the-chinese-mexican-cuisine-born-of-u-s-prejudice\">The Salt has reported\u003c/a>, Chinese-Mexican food includes many staples of the local cuisine, like \"light-yellow deep-fried chilis.\" There are also rumors of chefs at Chinese restaurants marinating their pork in tequila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So it seems only natural that a cuisine that has adapted to local tastes around the globe would continue to evolve in restaurant kitchens. But what is unique perhaps about Fajardo's chop suey — he calls it chop suey with beans — is that it was revised and reinvented not in a Chinese restaurant, but in a Mexican restaurant. And this Mexican adaptation went on to become the restaurant's \"family meal\" — the employees ate this dish at work, Fajardo says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His great-aunt even went on to teach the recipe to every woman in their extended family. \"She believed that everybody should be able to feed their family at minimal cost,\" says Fajardo.

There’s a lot of things I do not miss about Texas (intense heat and humidity, large flying insects, loony politics), but there are so many things that I pine for (the food, the Southern hospitality, swimming in natural waters). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I’ve yet to find a swimming hole that rivals \u003ca href=\"https://austintexas.gov/department/barton-springs-pool\">Barton Springs\u003c/a> (Austin) or \u003ca href=\"http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/balmorhea\">Balmorhea\u003c/a> (outside Marfa), I am fortunately able to re-create some of my favorite childhood foods…most of which fall into the Tex-Mex or barbecue camps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my family’s favorite restaurants was a place called\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninfa%27s\"> Ninfa’s\u003c/a>, where the chips were thin, crisp and warm, and always served with the most amazing red salsa and green sauce. But it was the Tacos al Carbon—grilled marinated skirt steak stuffed into flour tortillas—that made Mama Ninfa Laurenzo famous when she opened her original restaurant in Houston in 1973. The tacos were a hit, and she started marketing them as “fajitas.” While there is a long history of fajitas, likely dating back to the vaqueros of the Rio Grande Valley in the 1930s, they didn’t hit mainstream restaurants until the 1980s, quite possibly due to the popularity of Mama Ninfa’s fajitas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, fajitas are ubiquitous and synonymous with what many folks think of as Tex-Mex. They come in all different guises—from the original (and what some, including Mama Ninfa, consider the only true fajitas) skirt steak to other cuts of beef, chicken, and even shrimp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love skirt steak fajitas, but I’m also a big fan of the chicken version (Mama Ninfa would surely vehemently disagree). I make mine with boneless breasts, highly seasoned with a chile-based rub, then seared or grilled with plenty of sweet bell peppers and onions. Once sliced and stuffed into flour tortillas (flour! never ever corn), you can then add all the delicious toppings you want—the classics include salsa or pico de gallo, shredded cheese, guacamole, and sour cream. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_118463\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final.jpg\" alt=\"Grilled Chicken Fajitas\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-118463\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/06/chix-fajitas-tacos-final-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Grilled Chicken Fajitas \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Grilled Chicken Fajitas\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 servings\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of fat and gristle\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp chili powder\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp sweet paprika\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp cumin\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 tsp Mexican oregano\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 tsp kosher salt, plus more as needed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into strips\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 medium yellow onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>\u003cem>To serve:\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Your favorite salsa or pico de gallo\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Your favorite guacamole\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shredded Monterey jack cheese\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Shredded romaine or iceburg lettuce (optional)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sour cream\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 or 2 limes, each cut into 8 pieces\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Flour tortillas, warmed\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Cut each chicken breast in half so that the pieces are all uniform in size and thickness.

There’s a lot of things I do not miss about Texas (intense heat and humidity, large flying insects, loony politics), but there are so many things that I pine for (the food, the Southern hospitality, swimming in natural waters). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I’ve yet to find a swimming hole that rivals \u003ca href=\"https://austintexas.gov/department/barton-springs-pool\">Barton Springs\u003c/a> (Austin) or \u003ca href=\"http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/balmorhea\">Balmorhea\u003c/a> (outside Marfa), I am fortunately able to re-create some of my favorite childhood foods…most of which fall into the Tex-Mex or barbecue camps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my family’s favorite restaurants was a place called\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninfa%27s\"> Ninfa’s\u003c/a>, where the chips were thin, crisp and warm, and always served with the most amazing red salsa and green sauce. But it was the Tacos al Carbon—grilled marinated skirt steak stuffed into flour tortillas—that made Mama Ninfa Laurenzo famous when she opened her original restaurant in Houston in 1973. The tacos were a hit, and she started marketing them as “fajitas.” While there is a long history of fajitas, likely dating back to the vaqueros of the Rio Grande Valley in the 1930s, they didn’t hit mainstream restaurants until the 1980s, quite possibly due to the popularity of Mama Ninfa’s fajitas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, fajitas are ubiquitous and synonymous with what many folks think of as Tex-Mex. They come in all different guises—from the original (and what some, including Mama Ninfa, consider the only true fajitas) skirt steak to other cuts of beef, chicken, and even shrimp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love skirt steak fajitas, but I’m also a big fan of the chicken version (Mama Ninfa would surely vehemently disagree). I make mine with boneless breasts, highly seasoned with a chile-based rub, then seared or grilled with plenty of sweet bell peppers and onions.

Plants dangle from above contrasting with the exposed concrete ceiling, Mission-style arched walls separate the bar and kitchen from the dining area. Seating ranges from beer garden style benches to a pillow-decked banquette with oversize leaves as the design motif. Outside is a striking new floral mural by the artist Jet Martinez, a soon-to-be Instagram magnet. It’s the background for SF’s new go-to patio, complete with a cactus and reclaimed wood tables (speaking of obligatory trends). Inside or outside, everything is breezy and casual, not unlike how all the nearby SoMa start-ups like to operate their offices. The party is rounded out by a soundtrack ranging from blaring Iggy Azalea and CeeLo Green to the deafening jackhammers of the intersection’s construction. Mestiza will no doubt give LA’s perennially hip Salazar a run for its money in this desert good life design genre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Mestiza interior with bar area.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116589\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mestiza interior with bar area. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s all surreal.

At the end of the day, this is the next level of tacos well beyond the basic carne asada, carnitas, al pastor trio. We’re game to hop on this taco train that is indeed a little more expensive than most versions but exponentially more elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116580\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco.jpg\" alt=\"Thai Red Curry Beef taco\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116580\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-beef-taco-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thai Red Curry Beef taco \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Speaking of al pastor, possibly the most impressive taco filling is cumin and guajillo dusted rock cod that has nothing to do with al pastor flavor-wise other than the pineapple salsa, but, alas, what’s in a name?

Plants dangle from above contrasting with the exposed concrete ceiling, Mission-style arched walls separate the bar and kitchen from the dining area. Seating ranges from beer garden style benches to a pillow-decked banquette with oversize leaves as the design motif. Outside is a striking new floral mural by the artist Jet Martinez, a soon-to-be Instagram magnet. It’s the background for SF’s new go-to patio, complete with a cactus and reclaimed wood tables (speaking of obligatory trends). Inside or outside, everything is breezy and casual, not unlike how all the nearby SoMa start-ups like to operate their offices. The party is rounded out by a soundtrack ranging from blaring Iggy Azalea and CeeLo Green to the deafening jackhammers of the intersection’s construction. Mestiza will no doubt give LA’s perennially hip Salazar a run for its money in this desert good life design genre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg\" alt=\"Mestiza interior with bar area.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-116589\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar.jpg 2000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/04/mestiza-interior-bar-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mestiza interior with bar area. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>It’s all surreal.

There are probably as many mole recipes out there as there are abuelas. Although it hails from Mexico, the origins of mole are unclear, with both Oaxaca and Puebla claiming ownership. Regardless of where it comes from, mole is a labor of love. At its most complex it is a very time-consuming, intensive undertaking. But the reward is a richly nuanced sauce unlike any other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this version, which was inspired by Rick Bayless’s incredible recipe found in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Authentic-Mexican-20th-Anniversary-Ed/dp/0061373265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Authentic Mexican\u003c/a> cookbook, I’ve tried to simplify the process as much as possible. The good news is that you can make this well in advance and either keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days, or store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. It also makes more than you’ll need if you plan to serve it with your Thanksgiving turkey, meaning you can make mole enchiladas with the remaining sauce; I highly recommend this approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few words on ingredients: Nuts, in particular almonds, are often found in mole. I leave them out because my husband is allergic, but if you’d like to add them (they add a lovely toasty flavor), stir in 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds to the tomato mixture before pureeing. You can adjust the amount of spiciness based on the types of chiles you choose. This version has a nice little kick that will grab you in the back of the throat but won’t leave you sweating and running for a glass of milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-113556\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans.jpg\" alt=\" Spicy Mole Gravy with Mexican Rice and Savory Black Beans\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spicy Mole Gravy with Mexican Rice and Savory Black Beans \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Spicy Mole Gravy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 cups\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup sesame seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6 oz mixed dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Canola, vegetable, sunflower oil, or lard\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Boiling water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small yellow onion, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup raisins\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 clove garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon ground cinnamon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon ground anise\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/8 teaspoon ground cloves\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cups \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/17/beak-to-tail-eating-make-a-big-pot-of-thanksgiving-turkey-stock/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turkey stock\u003c/a> or low-sodium chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 oz bittersweet chocolate (at least 72%)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113547\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-113547\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded.jpg\" alt=\"Dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In a large cast-iron pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, then transfer to a large bowl.

There are probably as many mole recipes out there as there are abuelas. Although it hails from Mexico, the origins of mole are unclear, with both Oaxaca and Puebla claiming ownership. Regardless of where it comes from, mole is a labor of love. At its most complex it is a very time-consuming, intensive undertaking. But the reward is a richly nuanced sauce unlike any other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this version, which was inspired by Rick Bayless’s incredible recipe found in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Authentic-Mexican-20th-Anniversary-Ed/dp/0061373265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Authentic Mexican\u003c/a> cookbook, I’ve tried to simplify the process as much as possible. The good news is that you can make this well in advance and either keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days, or store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. It also makes more than you’ll need if you plan to serve it with your Thanksgiving turkey, meaning you can make mole enchiladas with the remaining sauce; I highly recommend this approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few words on ingredients: Nuts, in particular almonds, are often found in mole. I leave them out because my husband is allergic, but if you’d like to add them (they add a lovely toasty flavor), stir in 1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds to the tomato mixture before pureeing. You can adjust the amount of spiciness based on the types of chiles you choose. This version has a nice little kick that will grab you in the back of the throat but won’t leave you sweating and running for a glass of milk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113556\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-113556\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans.jpg\" alt=\" Spicy Mole Gravy with Mexican Rice and Savory Black Beans\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-rice-beans-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spicy Mole Gravy with Mexican Rice and Savory Black Beans \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Recipe: Spicy Mole Gravy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes about 6 cups\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup sesame seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>6 oz mixed dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Canola, vegetable, sunflower oil, or lard\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Boiling water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 small yellow onion, chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup raisins\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 clove garlic, minced\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juices\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 teaspoon ground cinnamon\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon ground anise\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon kosher salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/8 teaspoon ground cloves\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 cups \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2015/11/17/beak-to-tail-eating-make-a-big-pot-of-thanksgiving-turkey-stock/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turkey stock\u003c/a> or low-sodium chicken broth\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 oz bittersweet chocolate (at least 72%)\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, or to taste\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113547\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-113547\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded.jpg\" alt=\"Dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/mole-sauce-seeded-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dried chiles, such as ancho, pasilla or other mildly spicy chile, trimmed, seeded, and torn into pieces. \u003ccite>(Wendy Goodfriend)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>In a large cast-iron pan over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring frequently, then transfer to a large bowl.

Cosecha’s green pozole is a light, bright chicken (instead of pork) version, redolent of tomatillo and mild green chiles, kicked up a bit by diced jalapeño and made even lusher by avocado. The steaming, generous bowl is served with cabbage, radishes, onion, lime and cilantro, and to-die-for homemade corn tortillas. Available at lunch only on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, as well as Saturday brunch. \u003cstrong>Pro tip:\u003c/strong> At dinner, ask if there’s any left over from lunch.

Nonetheless, prices remain competitively low. For under $10, you can choose red, green or white pozole. I found the white fairly bland, and the red was above average, but the green was downright spectacular, with slightly spicy green chile and pork broth, loads of al dente hominy, and crisp, finely chopped vegetable garnishes (the usual onions, cabbage and radishes), with lots of lime, too. A plus is the addictive salsa—and the fact that pozole is on the menu every day (except Sunday, when the restaurant is closed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.obeliscorestaurant.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Obelisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n3411 E. 12th St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/pPG5yK\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nOakland, CA 94601\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 534-3752\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Fri, 10am-9pm; Sat, 10am-8pm; closed Sunday\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pages/Obelisco-Restaurant/569449659829161\" target=\"_blank\">Obelisco Restaurant\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/obeliscooakland/\" target=\"_blank\">obeliscooakland\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (pozole, $9.95)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Otaez\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113294\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-113294\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new.jpg\" alt=\"A huge bowl of red pozole at Otaez.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Otaez-new-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A huge bowl of red pozole at Otaez. \u003ccite>(Kim Westerman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Otaez is a longstanding favorite on International Boulevard, beloved for its weekend mariarchi bands and hangover soups.

A warning if you’re feeding kids: The bowl is full of bones, evidence that the stock has been properly made, but something to be aware of as you make your way through the huge serving. It’s also got pig parts that don’t always turn up in pozole recipes, including tripe on my recent visit, which lent the whole a bold richness. The chunks of stew meat are soft and marbled, and the abundant garnishes should be placed on in layers (i.e., save some for the inevitable leftovers). The portion is enough for three to share.

Red pozole is served with the classic garnishes, and it might be my favorite version I tried, simply by virtue of its spiciness. Slightly more confident in its chile presentation that the others, but still in the medium heat range, it’s a soup perfectly balanced between meaty depth and bright chile flavor. And pozole is not just a weekend thrill— it’s on the menu every day (except Monday, when the restaurant is closed).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/portumex-richmond\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Portumex\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n721 23rd St. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/7JfFav\" target=\"_blank\">Map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nRichmond, CA 94801\u003cbr>\nPh: (510) 237-7513\u003cbr>\nHours: Tue-Fri, 10am-8pm; Sat, 8am-8pm; Sun, 8am-6pm; closed Monday\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (pozole, $10)\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"From Richmond to Oakland, these pozole spots will satisfy your winter soup cravings.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1478623757,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":14,"wordCount":1027},"headData":{"title":"Bay Area Bites Guide: Five Worthy Pozole Destinations in the East Bay | KQED","description":"From Richmond to Oakland, these pozole spots will satisfy your winter soup cravings.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"disqusIdentifier":"113288 http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/?p=113288","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2016/11/06/bay-area-bites-guide-five-worthy-pozole-destinations-in-the-east-bay/","disqusTitle":"Bay Area Bites Guide: Five Worthy Pozole Destinations in the East Bay","source":"Guides","sourceUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/category/guides-2/","path":"/bayareabites/113288/bay-area-bites-guide-five-worthy-pozole-destinations-in-the-east-bay","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>If chicken soup is the Jewish antibiotic, then pozole is the Mexican one.

Cosecha’s green pozole is a light, bright chicken (instead of pork) version, redolent of tomatillo and mild green chiles, kicked up a bit by diced jalapeño and made even lusher by avocado. The steaming, generous bowl is served with cabbage, radishes, onion, lime and cilantro, and to-die-for homemade corn tortillas.

I found the white fairly bland, and the red was above average, but the green was downright spectacular, with slightly spicy green chile and pork broth, loads of al dente hominy, and crisp, finely chopped vegetable garnishes (the usual onions, cabbage and radishes), with lots of lime, too.

It’s also got pig parts that don’t always turn up in pozole recipes, including tripe on my recent visit, which lent the whole a bold richness. The chunks of stew meat are soft and marbled, and the abundant garnishes should be placed on in layers (i.e., save some for the inevitable leftovers). The portion is enough for three to share.

Partly it’s because of my Texas background and I’ll find any excuse to make enchiladas. But the other reason is that a huge dish of enchiladas can easily feed a crowd, and the flavors couldn’t be further from Thanksgiving (and by this time you might be a bit tired of all that stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enchiladas take a bit of time, but you can always plan ahead and make the sauce in advance and freeze it for up to 3 months. Just thaw it and warm it in a saucepan when you are ready to assemble the enchiladas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For ease, I’ve used canned whole tomatillos, but if you want to use fresh (and can find them at your local market), by all means use those! To prepare them for the sauce, husk them and rinse them, then put them in a saucepan and cover them with water. Add the garlic cloves and bring to a boil over high heat.
