I’ve tried a few recipes, some a while back from her website:
Recommended
-
Shanghai rice cakes with soybeans and mustard greens: excellent, I’ve made this twice
-
Drunken chicken : I liked the touch of goji berries
-
Cumin roasted potatoes: I accidentally forgot to add the cumin, and thought the seasonings were still great. I’d scale back the salt a bit.
-
Lettuce with three shreds: 1/4 cup sesame oil seemed like a lot. I instead used 2 Tbs. sesame oil and 1 Tbs. vegetable oil, which was plenty to bring out the fragrance of the ginger.
Not as successful
- Dongpo pork : lovely texture, but I couldn’t get the flavor right. She uses several cups more braising liquid than other recipes so I should have sprung for a better quality rice wine.
