    Can substitute book's "Viet chile sauce" for Sriracha sauce; honey or brown sugar for agave syrup; yellow onion for shallots. You need to make the "Char siu pulled jackfruit" p.229.

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.

    Amazing dough, tasted just like a real Chinese bakery! Substituted half hoisin since I ran out of ketchup and the buns were still fantastic. Needed the full 16 minutes to get the proper coloring.
