I bought a claypot, but I can’t use it because I have an electric stove. Any solution?

I was jet lagged and I didn’t think it through.

What brand of white pepper are you guys using?

I've noticed every time I use the amount of white pepper called for in recipies, the result is very overpowering and nothing like I would get in restaurants in the U.S. With the exception of hot and sour soup, I don't think I've ever had a dish where a white pepper flavor is obvious.

When following recipies I have to decrease the white pepper amount massively in order to turn it into a background flavor. (basically make it a pinch instead of a 1/4 or an 1/8th of a teaspoon).

My guess is I'm using is just the wrong brand, or just specifically this brand's ground is more fine compared what recipie creators are using. https://badiaspices.com/product/pepper-white-ground-16-oz/

Thoughts?

What should I cook with these

My lovely Chinese neighbor gave me these last week and tried to explain what they are and how to use them, but unfortunately I couldn’t understand everything because of the language barrier. 😅

I vaguely remember him mentioning something about fish, but I’m not sure what he meant.

Could anyone tell me what these sauces are, what they’re made of, and how I can use them in cooking? Thank you!

What’s your favourite Chinese soup with lettuce in it?

Back when I was a kid I had the most delicious soup recipe I found in a Chinese cook book. I can’t remember anything about it other than it was clear broth with veggies and chicken or tofu or fish but what stood out the most was that it had some lettuce in it and the taste the broth had from even a little bit of lettuce was incredible! Please help, I’ll take any soup recipes with lettuce!

How to use Angelica Dahurica?

My friend's partner gave me some spices. One is called Angelica Dahurica and I have no idea how to use it. Is it just for medicine or can I use it on some foods?
