Sometimes things just don’t work out the way you want to …
I‘ve been fighting a hankering for Da Pan Ji for while now. Mentally preparing myself I was faced with a conundrum at the butcher - no deboned chicken thighs available. Now, my family wouldn’t accept bone-in chopped up ones, and after a long day of telcons I wouldn’t accept to debone the chicken thighs myself. Soooo … pork collar to the rescue 🤗
Da Pan Rou (or whatever you wanna call it): Pork collar, braised with spices, potatoes and more some alliums … very tasty. Served with udon noodles (and some extra chili oil for me) out of convenience. Still veeeery satisfying … family enjoyed as well 🥳
