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.
I’m a huge fan of Kenji’s recipe in “The Wok” book. But to get you your fix ASAP, here ya go… (it looks okay on my screen, but let me know if the resolution is too low here)
oh you can’t go wrong with kenji. my understanding is this is hulatang hot pepper soup, not hot and sour, but i don’t really know. they look the same so i can adapt from here though. thank you so much!
This looks awesome, and I now need this cookbook. Isn’t this a different soup though?
You’re right. Derp. That’s what I get for not reading more thoroughly.
dude i need to get all of kenji’s cookbooks eventually. thankfully my library has a few and i can check them out.
my cousin, he has had one of them checked out from the SF public library for 3 years the bum
