Liuyang black bean chicken: chicken thigh chunks marinated with soy sauce, twice-fried, and removed. Stir-fry a whole head of garlic, sliced ginger, fermented black beans, Shaoxing wine, red chile flakes, and rice vinegar. Finish with scallions and sesame oil. This is a long-time favorite.
Stir-fried Chinese spinach leaves with garlic: Yup, its that simple (plus a pinch of salt). I liked the Chinese spinach - nice flavor, and a bit more robust vs. regular spinach.
