Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Mu shu pork

    • chawkins on July 21, 2016

      The pancakes were a cinch and kind of fun to make to make. I used Napa cabbage and increase the amount a little because I had no bamboo shoots. The resulting mixture was a tad wet but that could be caused by the increased amount of cabbage. Taste wise, it was good, will make again.

  • Smoked bourbon chicken

    • Rinshin on July 22, 2018

      Made very tender smoked chicken dripping with juice even at 165 F internal temperature. However, I did not pick up on bourbon taste other than chicken being delicious tasting overall.
