Braised nam yue chicken with cloud ear fungus ~ 雲耳腐乳燜雞


This is a homey dish of preserved red bean curd (腐乳) braised with chicken and cloud ear fungus.  The preserved bean curd adds flavour to the dish while the cloud ear fungus (雲耳) absorbs all the flavours.  This dish pairs very well with plain white rice and all you need is to just add a dish of vegetables.

Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce
