Tofu with peanut sauce

Saw this recipe on Instagram and it’s was pretty tasty. Maybe not quite Chinese food (maybe more Vietnamese/malaysian) but still very tasty and I learn a better way to get crispy tofu! Did this by adding corn flour to the oil and making a kind of slurry then adding tofu so it kind sticks. Then cooked aubergine, beans, tenderstem, shallot, courgette

Need advice with some ingredients lifespan

I'm attempting to make my first chinese meal tonight (sichuan mapo tofu) and need some help with how long I can keep some ingredients.

I bought fermented black beans in a packet with a ziplock but how long would they last once I open them? I also bought some pickled chilli's in a jar which simply say consume soon after opening. How long would they last exactly?

How to cook it?

My old Chinese neighbor, brought this to me with some of her backyard eggs, but I don't know what it is or how to cook it properly. Any advice is appreciated.

Orange sauce help!

I need help finding the best orange sauce I can order online or possibly in store.
Thick, good for dipping or glazing, sweet, not too hot and not too vinegar-y.
If it helps, I like kikkoman orange sauce and think panda expressed orange sauce(in store) is real crappy. I love the restaurant bright neon orange sauce that comes with crab Rangoon but just can’t find it… help!

What is the most filling way to cook rice noodles?

Basically I’m chronically ill and can’t have any type of wheat, so I decided to make rice noodle recipes but obviously they aren’t as filling as usual pasta.

So I wanted to ask what recipes are the most filling, and also what type of rice noodles you would recommend for maximum fullness

Thanks

Ramp Pockets (Ramp 盒子)

I found some ramps when hiking (Northeast USA) and thought that they tasted a lot like Chinese chives (韭菜). I picked them and made my favorite Chinese chive dish - Chive Pockets (韭菜盒子).

They were absolutely incredible - like chive pockets but with a strong onion/garlic flavor.

TL;DR Recipe

Filling:

  1. Separate ramp stems from ramp leaves
  2. Mince ramp stems
  3. Sauté the ramp stems till aromatic
  4. Mix sautéd stems, julienned leaves, soaked vermicelli, and scrambled eggs
  5. Season to taste (I used dried scallops and a Korean snow crab sauce - Hong Yeong Ui Snow Crab White Sauce)

Dough: basic ~50-60% hydration hot water dough

My most successful stewed chicken ever

From a TCM family,
I pay much attention to food pairings.
Ginger and jujubes were also added into it.
Adding jujubes for tonifying qi and blood simultaneously.
Adding ginger is to aid digestion when eating chicken.
