    Can substitute dry sherry for Shaoxing rice wine.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Very good. I used bone-in chicken thigh because that is what I prefer for braising. Very similar to my mon’s with the exception of the addition of five spice powder which worked well with the red fermented bean curd.
