Add Anaheim peppers, celery stalks, green onions, white onion, mustard, bay leaves, white vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, and chicken bouillon. Mix well and bring to a medium heat.
Add petite gold potatoes and corn to the pot. Boil until potatoes are soft.
In a blender, combine chicken broth, ginger, tomatillos, jalapeños, serrano pepper, cilantro, and cucumber. Blend until smooth.
In a separate pan, melt butter with a little olive oil to prevent burning. Add minced garlic and white onion. Cook until onions are soft.

Add white pepper, Mexican oregano, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-6 minutes on medium-low heat.
Adjust salt to taste or enhance with chicken bouillon.

Serve the seafood boil with the prepared sauce on the side, Mexican longaniza, cucumber spears, Mexican pickled onions, and lemons.
