NOTES:

  1. Stock:

      Chicken stock is called for but pork stock would probably work as well.

  2. Rice Vinegar:

      The recipe calls for Chinese red rice vinegar, but if not available you can use white. If you don't have either use a Japanese rice vinegar.

  3. Five Spice Powder:

      This spice blend is used all over China, but there are variations. See our recipe Five Spice Powder for the most "official" mix.
  4. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch, ar=as required tt=to taste
