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 tasty for how little effort and how few ingredients it takes. It tastes fairly similar to Menudo.

    This is the epitome of authentic Chinese home cooking. It's easy, but comforting and delicious. My husband loved it.

    I like this a lot. It holds some heat but also is heart-warming, with ginger and chili bean paste giving depth to the potatoes and pork. The idea of using daikons as suggested below is rather inspired.

    Like the author says, this is a heart-warming stew. With very few and simple ingredients, yet makes such a tasty dish. Sichuan chilli bean paste gives a wonderful flavour to the stew. I've used potatoes as per the recipe, but the author has suggested of using carrots or other root veggies of our choice. I will use daikons the next time I make this dish, as I love daikons in stews.
