We were invited to a friend’s house for dinner the other night. He said he would make Hainan chicken. The Cat loves Hainan chicken. He agreed to make the dinner simple. He lied (he must’ve had his fingers crossed behind his back).
Hainan Chicken
Ginger Sauce for Hainan Chicken
Chinese-Style Beef Stew with Tendon on Chinese Broccoli
Fried Rice Noodles, Taiwanese-Style
Clams with Black Beans and Thai Basil
Braised Sea Cucumber
Fried Belt Fish and Shrimp
The socks flew off and disappeared. Fried belt fish is a Shanghainese dish and The Cat’s verdict was the best she’s ever had … ever. The shrimp was coated in a mixture of butter and salted duck egg yolk. I’ve never had shrimp like that before. The chicken was awesome, especially with the ginger sauce. Our friend said Hainan chicken usually comes with three sauces but he wanted to keep it simple. Hah!
Chinese White Tea
One of the best meals in a long long time. He insisted it was home style food (maybe his home, certainly not ours).
The next time, he said he would make mapo tofu and his wife would make jiaozi, he promised to keep it simple. I’ll believe it when I see it. Thanks CC.
Enjoy.
