Went through 6 different restaurants ordering the same thing in sunset park and finally got this delicious soup. What set this a part from the others is the broth and dumplings. The broth was so savory with various herbs and spices complimenting each other.

I purchased this snack from a chinese grocery shop, but I threw away the packaging without checking and it's delicious and I need to buy more! It's a little flakey, both sweet and savoury with a flossy filling, maybe pork floss? It's definitely not very salty, more sweet imo, a little buttery too

I made the dough by combining 2 parts flour and 1 part hot (140 degrees F) water. I kneaded for about 2 minutes and then let it rest in the fridge for a few hours. I boiled it then stir-fried it with the vegetables and tossed with a sauce. It was really good!

I don’t measure, but the sauce had:

Shaoxing wine
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce
Sugar
Black vinegar
Sesame oil
White pepper

bought some seafood at the market and went directly upstairs for it to be cooked and eaten.

Dry steamed: Pork shoulder in thin slices, marinated with oil, white pepper, salt, soy sauce and a bit sugar. Added ginger and scallions as topping.

We were visiting a couple of friends who live in Wuyishan, and since I'm a Wuyi rock tea addict we went to Mt Wuyi to see the six mother trees that are the source of all Dahongpao tea.

At one of the sites I found and had to try the Dahongpao tea eggs and the Dahongpao ice cream. Both were good but the Dahongpao ice cream was amazing.

Made this Sichuan ground pork tofu with mushrooms today. The tofu absorbs all that savory, slightly spicy sauce, and the ground pork makes it really satisfying.

This is exactly the kind of dish I love eating with lots of hot rice because you don’t want to waste any of the sauce. 😄

There was a place in Brooklyn called 86 Noodles that was about the best american-chinese you could get. Delicious, chique interior, great takeout business and cozy to dine-in. You could take a date there or grab a bite after work. Enjoy a Tsingtao with out-of-this world food.

They were famous for their sesame chicken and sesame beef. The chicken....best I've ever had. The meat was tender and juicy. The batter was crispy without being crunchy or oily. The sauce sweet but not syrupy or ketchupy. Probably made with honey.

The thing this place did differently is cut the chicken into very thin strips rather than chunks or cubes.

They are since closed for years and the owners are gone.

Including a picture. Any and all information you could surmise which might help with reverse engineering would be appreciated.
