'''Molho português''' ({{IPA-pt|ˈmoʎu puɾtuˈɣeʃ}}, ''Portuguese sauce'') in [[Macanese cuisine]], refers to a sauce made of [[curry powder]] and [[coconut milk]], that is milder and richer than the usual curry.{{CN|date=July 2014}} Its name purportedly came about because it first became popular in [[Macanese cuisine|Macau]], then a Portuguese colony.
 
'''Portuguese sauce''' is a [[sauce]] in [[Macanese cuisine]].
In Argentina, ''salsa portuguesa'' refers to a cooked mixture of tomato, bell peppers and onions,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://recetas-cocina-argentina.info/2008/10/salsa-portuguesa.html |title=Salsa Portugues |website=Recetas Cocina Argentina}}</ref> that in Brazil is used as a ''[[carne moída]]'' or hot dog sauce.{{CN|date=July 2014}} In Brazil the version consumed by itself is referred as ''molho à [[Campanha Ocidental|campanha]]'', named after the most traditional area of [[Rio Grande do Sul]], a praîrie that is land of the Brazilian [[Gaucho|''gaúchos]] (the Brazilian version is always finely chopped and raw and generally includes also vinegar, olive oil, salt and ''cheiro-verde''—very finely chopped [[parsley]] and [[welsh onion]]s—or spice).
 
In [[Macau|Macao]], Portuguese sauce ({{Lang-zh|c=葡汁}}, {{lang-pt|Molho português}}, {{IPA-pt|ˈmoʎu puɾtuˈɣeʃ}}) refers to a sauce that is flavored with [[curry]] and thickened with [[coconut milk]].<ref name="HoustonPTChicken">{{cite news|last1=Levitt|first1=Alice|title=Our Latest Obsession: Portuguese Chicken at Wing Kee Restaurant|url=https://www.houstoniamag.com/articles/2016/12/28/our-latest-obsession-portuguese-chicken-wing-kee-restaurant|accessdate=6 March 2018|work=[[Houstonia (magazine)|Houstonia]]|publisher=SagaCity Media|date=28 December 2016}}</ref> It is an ingredient in [[Galinha à portuguesa]], known as ''Portuguese Chicken'' in [[English language|English]]-speaking societies.<ref name="HoustonPTChicken"/>
 
The Portuguese sauce from Macao is considered to be a legacy of [[Portugal]]'s colonization of [[Daman and Diu]] in [[India]],<ref name="HoustonPTChicken"/> and is likened to a mild yellow curry.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Kwan|first1=Michael|title=Exploring Hong Kong-Style Cafes: Copa Cafe Richmond|url=https://www.visitrichmondbc.com/blog/post/exploring-hk-style-cafes-copa-cafe-richmond/|website=Tourism Richmond|accessdate=6 March 2018|date=22 March 2016|quote=The Portuguese sauce is like a mild yellow curry and it’s not meant to be spicy at all.}}</ref>
 
Despite its name, Portuguese sauce (along with Galinha à portuguesa) is a [[Macanese cuisine]] invention, and is not a sauce used in [[Portuguese cuisine]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Preserving the food of Macau -- and family recipes -- at Fat Rice|url=https://www.splendidtable.org/story/preserving-the-food-of-macau-and-family-recipes-at-fat-rice|website=[[The Splendid Table]]|accessdate=6 March 2018|date=21 February 2014|quote=I think the po kok gai is one of the best examples -- that translates into "Portuguese chicken." Interestingly enough, you'll never find this dish in Portugal.}}</ref>
