She made it in the winter "when the cold north wind blows" which looking back was absurd because we lived outside of Phoenix. She covered it in a cheesecloth sack to allow drying and keep vermin out. <br /><br />She always served it with fried sliced potatoes. Not sure why but that's how we ate it! <br /><br />Great site! I bought some at the Asian Market in Omaha which is an amazing place -- best one I've seen outside of SF where we are from. We are visiting our daughter who is school in Omaha and is very interested in Chinese cooking so I've been showing her how to do it with this wonderful market. I pinned your site and she copied it!<br /><br />Thanks!Pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-24203167069888468782011-07-01T08:53:14.140-06:002011-07-01T08:53:14.140-06:00darien

Another famous Chinese rose wine brand is "Golden Bell"--I think you can get that at 99 Ranch Market, but you need to ask "behind the counter" at the service counter since it will not be on the supermarket shelves. Hope this helps your readers. <br /><br />Also the dark soya sauce we used was Koon Chun brand labeled as "Double Black Soy Sauce"--you should be able to get at the Chinese markets and for sure at 99 Ranch Chinese market.Clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12790784.post-18327480247565552532010-01-21T09:32:16.546-07:002010-01-21T09:32:16.546-07:00Lily,

I used to try to make Nyuk Gon (the dried meat) under the sun for 3-6 hours in the summer, but ended up tending flies more than just walk away and let the sun do the work.<br /><br />Also, when you say thick dark soy sauce, do you refer to the Indonesia ABC brand Kechup manis/masin or real Chinese soy paste?<br /><br />BTW, if you want to get Pau flour, ask your oriental store and see if they can get you Red Rose brand flour, that's the Pau flour. I had to buy a sag of 50 lb when special order through the store. Now I'm trying to order Stingray for Chinese New Year, what will be a tricky one.
