ZING DYNASTY: A Noir Homage to a Neighborhood filled with Zest beyond Generations of Time

In the heart of New York City, there’s a neighborhood that beats with the vibrant pulse of centuries-old history and culture. It’s a place where the aroma of exotic spices wafts through the air, and the chatter of generations echoes through the streets. The enigmatic neighborhood of Chinatown has been a source of endless fascination and inspiration for me.

Chinatown is a labyrinth of alleys and hidden gems, where ancient traditions coexist with the modern world. Over the past two decades, I’ve immersed myself in exploring it’s lesser-known streets, wandering through its markets and shops, and indulging in its delectable delicacies in search of culinary enlightenment.

During the pandemic, I witnessed Chinatown suffer and made it my mission to support its struggling small businesses by frequenting as many of my favorite spots as possible. I found myself captivated by the rich heritage, resilient spirit, and mesmerizing flavors that define this iconic corner of the city.

It was here, among the colorful lanterns and the clanging of woks, that the idea for my newest sauce emerged — a tribute to the noir mystique of Chinatown's past. Drawing from tales of secretive crime syndicates and hatchet-wielding warriors who once prowled the infamous Bloody Angle, I envisioned a sauce that embodied the bold spirit and complex character of this storied neighborhood and it’s adjacent influences.

And so, ZING DYNASTY Sichuan Habanero was born — a gastronomic masterpiece that harmoniously blends the distinct flavors of Chinatown, neighboring Little Italy, and the latin influences of the Lower East Side. The unique combination of ingredients brings together the best of multiple worlds, highlighting the multicultural nature of New York City itself.

A Tamari (soy) and rice vinegar base provides the familiar foundation, while tangerine and balsamic vinegar bring a touch of sweetness that complements the savory flavors. The star of the show, however, is the pairing of red habanero and Sichuan peppercorn, which delivers a powerful kick of heat and zing that is both surprising and addictive. Roasted sesame oil, shallots, and garlic round out the flavor profile, culminating in an umami bomb explosion of flavor — transporting your taste buds straight to the heart of Chinatown.
