【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!
