FRENCH ONION SOUP IS SO GOOD!

I made a while ago and while it took hours to make it was SOOO GOOD!

If I only had a way to make a bread bowl to make it perfect. T^T

Taibai Chicken with Jasmine Rice

Chicken fried with dried chillies, pickled chillies, Sichuan Pepper, spring onion and Shaoxing rice wine in a sauce made with dark soy, veg stock, white pepper, salt and sugar, with a bed of jasmine rice - quick and easy recipe with a deep, savoury flavour and plenty of spice :slight_smile:

It’s a Fucshia Dunlop recipe from this book - everything I’ve tried from it has been superb, can’t recommend highly enough!

(bowl of Sichuan pepper and chillies purely decorative as I realised I had nothing in to make the photo look prettier)

The photo looks so professional, you’re upping the standards right away, hehe.

This sounds really amazing. I love sichuan pepper, such an intense flavour and a freshness that stays on the tongue, although i can’ have it to often.

Very kind, thank you!

Cooked more Sichuanese food tonight - this one is Stir Fried Chicken with Yibin Yacai from the same book, although here I’ve made a few minor tweaks to the recipe (added a teaspoon of dark soy and a wildly irresponsible quantity of fresh red chillies)

Photograph of stir fried chicken with Yibin Yacai, served with a slightly excessive portion of jasmine rice as I was starving when I got in from work. I have no remorse. At the edges of the photograph tiny fake plants are arranged in a vague attempt to make it look like I understand how to frame an image.

This dish does not photograph well but it tastes sensational! Chicken diced extremely fine and coated with Shaoxing rice wine, potato starch and water, then fried with pepper, Yibin Yacai and copious amounts of garlic, ginger and chilli and the dark soy.

Sounds amazing. There can never be too many chillies in any food.

Stir fried pork and green pepper, cooked with hot broadbean paste, fermented black soybean, dark soy, ginger and salt, super easy to make but tastes unbelievably good

Those are some impressive pictures. My own food is usually not really worth mentioning ;)
