Hey, so i am craving hulatang right now. My favorite chinese place closed and I don’t want to break the bank trying to find a good one right now. I am not (much of) a food snob, i just have understandable food anxieties and would prefer cooking myself.
Do any of y’all have a good, reliable cookbook or website you could recommend? I mean, primarily for hulatang but Chinese food in general. I have a couple back burner projects that could benefit as well from some expert guidance. I feel like I have gotten as far as my nose and tongue (which are damn good) can get me. I would prefer English language materials, but i can use translation tools on written stuff.
I’m about to head out so it might take me a bit to get back, but i’ll be around today.
…so appetizing…
It is my favorite soup. I think I had it last in 2022.
My favorite Chinese place lasted long enough to serve my dad his favorite meal for his last meal. I’ve had it rough, but his last years were harder. So like Chinese food gets emotional for the family and i want to give them something delicious someplace private and space to process. Anniversary is coming up.
Now I’m gong to go put on some sunglasses and pretend I forgot my allergy medication
Many of the most delicious foods look like brown slop. This looks a bit better than that.
Your average internet recipe has not been professionally shot and edited and that’s generally a good thing, knowing what the food actually looks like.
