The family behind Taiwan's beloved BB Hot Sauce — Sophia Chang, "A Little Bit Sweet" Film
Tuesday, 21 April, 2026
What do you do when you realize your family has a famous hot sauce brand in Taiwan — and you only found out at age 25? For food stylist and documentary filmmaker Sophia J. Chang, the answer was: make a film about it. In this episode, Jane sits down with her cousin-in-law Sophia to talk about A Little Bit Sweet, a documentary seven years in the making about BB Sauce — a beloved Taiwanese condiment her grand-uncles built from the ground up — and the family story that almost went untold.Sophia opens up about the grief of not capturing her grandmother Ama's recipes before she developed dementia, and how that loss became the quiet engine behind everything. The conversation weaves through oral history, identity, Taiwanese food culture, and what it means to belong to a story you didn't even know existed. This one is for anyone who has ever felt the pull of a family history just out of reach.Sophia J Chang is a second-generation Taiwanese American food stylist and photographer, whose career in food and media reflects her deep-rooted passion for storytelling and culture. Sophia has worked on Food Network TV shows and commercials with clients including Bibigo USA, King’s Hawaiian, Knorr, and Starbucks.Support the film on Seed & Spark: A Little Bit Sweet crowdfunding campaign A Little Bit Sweet film websiteSophia's company Batch 211DiscountsGet 10% off delicious local farm-fresh food delivered to your door with my link for FarmMatch: https://farmmatch.com/jane Get 15% off high-quality Italian olive oil with code FARMTOFUTURE: https://shop.vignolifood.com/FARMTOFUTUREGet 40% the CircleDNA’s Premium DNA test with code JANEZHANG: https://circledna.com/premium Connect with Jane Z.
