If there's one thing better than Chinese ingredients, it's free Chinese ingredients. Today, I ordered some lamb for delivery. It came promptly accompanied by this free bag of S: 调味料; T: 調味料 (tiáo wèi liào) which means 'seasoning'.
This particular seasoning is 狗牛羊兔香料 (gǒu niú yáng tù xiāng liào) which means dog, beef, lamb, rabbit spices.
They mean it is suitable for use with any of these meats; not all of them in a dish together!
It consists of sand ginger, star anise, black cardamom, cloves, cassia bark and dried tangerine peel.
I won't be using it with my lamb. I already have another plan. It will turn up in the dinner topic tomorrow.
