Tonight’s dinner. Soy sauce chicken with ginger and spring onion oil. I haven’t made lo sui (sometimes called “master stock” in English but the literal translation is “old water” 😂) in a while but I’ll boil and freeze this stock now for a few repeat performances. The stock is water, homemade wine, onion, garlic, ginger, sugar, anise, black cardamom, chuan xiong, cinnamon, etc.) and the chicken marylands simmer at very, very low heat for 45 minutes.
