American Samoa Sapasui I shall continue on my journey, and look to next week to round out our US Territory adventure. I don’t think this will come into my regular rotation, but it was interesting learning about this far away island. It was just ok, so I am going to give this one a B+ and move on. I added some fish sauce (my Asian umami magic ingredient), plus a little hot chili sauce, which improved things, but I was still a little disappointed. The dish is really simple, but I found that it lacked flavor. I decided on a version that used chicken, plus carrots, red pepper and edamame. I also found that Spam was often used, a nod to the US military influence in the region. This is mainly due to the challenges in getting these ingredients on the islands. ![]() It uses ingredients that you would find in the traditional dish, including soy sauce and bean thread noodles, but many of the versions I found included canned or frozen vegetables. The most unique dish that I found was called Sapasui, which is the American Samoa version of Chop Suey. When I went looking for a recipe to make this week, I found that American Samoa is much like its neighboring islands in the south pacific, having large influences from Asia and the Philippines, while also having a sense of mix from American military and European countries. Interestingly, Americans need a passport to enter American Samoa, and they have their own immigration. Over the years, there have been calls for either independence or autonomy for American Samoa, but as recently as a referendum in 2010, the majority of citizens decided to remain unchanged. It wasn’t until the signing of the Tripartite Convention of 1899 that the Samoan Islands were divided, resulting in the western islands, controlled by Germany, and American Samoa. A civil war in Samoa brought backing of opposite positions from Germany and US, with each side hoping to gain power to use the islands for whaling and as a coal station. Up to the end of the century, a power struggle ensued between the US, Germany and Britain. ![]() United States influence began in 1872 when the United States Navy met with Chief Manuma to establish a harbor in Pago Pago. This week, we explore American Samoa, who joined the US as a territory in 1899. Welcome to week 4 of the Five US Territories of New Recipe Tuesday. ![]()
