Hung Lu vs Shaoxing

Recommended Posts

I have used Hung Lu for a long time (my instructor was a fan of Oriental Mascot brand) , but recently notice recipes specifying Shaoxing. Does it matter?

Also, does anyone know a mail-order source for Sichuan pickled vegetables? My local Asian market never seems to have them. If I make my own do they keep indefintely?

Hmmm -- some of the on-line stores I used to have bookmarked, are now gone. How about this one?

Look down to the 6th row of products. I have found the canned pickled vegetable just as good as th ones that use to be in the big open tubs in Chinese stores --- or that you use to find in Chineese grocery stores.

Anyone
