The Secret to Sriracha Hot Sauce’s Success
Рет қаралды 1,960,727
4 жыл бұрынDavid Tran is the man to thank for the Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce you douse your scrambled eggs with every morning. You know the stuff. Red bottle with a green cap and a rooster on the front-plus five languages on the bottle-this simple sauce connects people from different cultures and backgrounds. “It never occurred to me that our hot sauce could get so much attention and acceptance from different people," said Tran. Today, Tran oversees a hot sauce empire, but he comes from humble beginnings. He arrived in the United States from Vietnam 40 years ago as a refugee. So how did the founder of Huy Fong Foods turn his fresh, homemade hot sauce into an internationally-recognized brand and household staple? We visited his factory in Irwindale, California, to learn the secret to his sauce.

The reason why he is speaking Chinese despite being from Vietnam, is that Vietnam had a large existing Chinese community that fled from China for a variety of reasons, opportunity, war, business, etc. These Chinese communities had existed for many years (decades if not hundreds) and were based mainly in South Vietnam. After the Communist take over, these Chinese communities were persecuted and forced to flee as refugees in the aftermaths of the war i.e. boat people. These communities while ethnically Chinese had adopted Vietnamese versions of their last names and spoke Mandarin, Vietnamese, and many other Chinese dialects most famously Cantonese. While some people have said that that Vietnam was used as a way to obtain a visa for the US, this was likely a very niche occurrence that would have happened many years after the war, and not the way David Tran came to America. The majority of the migration of Chinese-Vietnamese out of Vietnam were people leaving out of fear for their lives and family, who were then sponsored by institutions in the US/Canada/Hong Kong and other countries to allow them to obtain citizenship.

One small correction. You said that ethnic Chinese living in Vietnam adopted Vietnamese version of their last name. Actually they normally change their FULL name into Vietnamese. It's actually quite easy since you can translate Chinese names into Vietnamese names word for word because most Vietnamese names are in fact of Chinese origins. It's similar in situation with European first names. Like for example the name Peter in English. In French it would be Pierre and Pedro in Spanish. Most of the Chinese-Vietnamese keep their Vietnamese name version even after emigrating.

I was born in South Vietnam. I can still remember the village next to mine was full of Chinese speaking people who spoke fluently in both Vietnamese and Chinese. The parents and grand parents only can READ Chinese. Their kids(my age) can speak both languages but CAN ONLY READ Vietnamese since they went to Vietnamese school systems. The Chinese tradition of their ancestors were well embedded in them. So they had all types of festivals and celebrations that were different from my back ground, which is Vietnamese traditional Catholic. These people cook the most awesome food. That scenario is not uncommon. Good to see this man on the news. He really wanted Great Hot sauce for affordable price. And he did it. We all benefited from that generous belief.
