【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!

You have mentioned very interesting points! ps nice web site.
In this great design of things you secure a B- just for hard work. Where you actually confused us ended up being on all the specifics. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more true right here. Having said that, permit me inform you what exactly did give good results. Your text is actually quite engaging and that is most likely why I am taking the effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, although I can certainly see a leaps in logic you make, I am not necessarily sure of how you seem to connect your points which inturn make your final result. For now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but trust in the future you connect your facts better.
