Today in Labor History April 26, 1862: Congress passed the Anti-Coolie Act of 1862. They also called it, "An Act to Protect Free White Labor.” The law was one of a series of xenophobic laws enacted specifically to block the immigration of Chinese to the U.S., particularly to California. Laws like this encouraged anti-Asian violence like the Los Angeles anti-Chinese riot of 1871, the San Francisco anti-Chinese riot of 1877, the Denver Chinatown riot of 1880, the Eureka Chinese expulsion of 1885, the Rock Springs Massacre of 1885, the Tacoma pogrom of 1885, and the Seattle anti-Chinese riots of 1886.

Today is snack day. Or condiment. Or cooking ingredient. Because this can be all three.

香辣脆 (Xiāng là cuì or "Fragrant, Spicy, Crispy") is a weird little thing that can be eaten straight (typically with alcohol, like bar peanuts), or it can be thrown on top of food to give it a bit of bite and crunch, or it can be straight-up used as an ingredient in some dishes.

It's made by making a paste of wheat flour, some leavening, and some sesame, cramming it inside finger chilis, then deep-frying that until its crisp. Personally I eat them like potato chips but that's because I have a cast-iron tongue. And throat. And stomach. And ... ah ... the other end.

This is probably vicious for most North Americans, but in small doses, perhaps mixed with peanuts to cut down the burn, it would be great.

More info in the alt text as usual.
