【Braised flat beans in preserved bean curd and anka sauce】
by MaomaoMom
I mentioned that my husband and my son Maomao bought 5 year old Hongzao or Anka sauce (fermented sweet rice with red yeast rice) while they were visiting in China last time. The colour is deep red and it smells so good. I have made a few dishes using this hongzao, they all turn out to be delicious. Today, I made this vegetable dish using hongzao, pretty good too.
