【Braised chicken and Chinese yam in soy sauce】
by MaomaoMom
My husband and my son Maomao recently visited China and they bought 5 year old Hongzao or Anka sauce (fermented sweet rice with red yeast rice). The colour is deep red and it smells so good. I made this chicken dish using some of the hongzao. MaomaoDad and Maomao enjoyed this dish a lot!

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
I just couldn’t go away your web site prior to suggesting that I extremely enjoyed the standard information an individual supply in your guests? Is going to be again regularly to check up on new posts.
I would like to express appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from such a scenario. After scouting through the world-wide-web and finding concepts that were not productive, I believed my life was well over. Being alive without the presence of answers to the difficulties you’ve resolved all through your entire review is a critical case, and those which may have in a negative way affected my career if I hadn’t noticed the website. Your main mastery and kindness in handling everything was excellent. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a thing like this. I am able to at this time relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for this expert and results-oriented guide. I will not think twice to refer your site to any person who should get care about this subject matter.
F*ckin’ awesome issues here. I am very glad to see your post. Thanks so much and i am having a look forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
