The chicken is poached in water with a bit of salt and ginger for flavoring. The resulting meat by itself would be considered under seasoned so it is often served with a very flavorful dipping sauce on the side.

This is another dish that I picked up from my parents while I was home for break. The main star of this dish is pork belly,which is first boiled in water until cooked,and then cut into slices and refried with vegetables,hence the “double cooked”. The pork belly is usually accompanied with peppers and leeks. Another must have is Lao Gan Ma hot sauce. I’ve started using this in all my spicy dishes and it definitely adds more flavor and more heat than the typical chili sauce that I use.

This is a recipe for stewed lamb that actually originated with my grandpa. What I like most about this recipe is the versatility. The starting procedure will get you a delicious stewed lamb and from there you can make four different dishes simply by altering what you put into it. I’ll try to break this recipe into sections so it’s a little easier to follow.

Within our family,the tongue-in-cheek name for these are “Better-than-Sex Brownies”We only make them once a year,which is around the holidays,so we skimp on absolutely nothing!  | |
