I’ll look for the video. Thanks.

@@richardlau2447 Look for Mandy's video for Steamed Pork Belly Recipe (Mei Cai Kou Rou) she shows the box for the 13 spice powder and the description includes a link to order it.

She recently explained that 5 spice doesn't mean only 5 spices are used, but that the spices used cover the 5 flavours (sweet, sour etc) and that 13 spice is very similar to 5 spice. I will have to look out for it next time I'm in our local Asian supermarket.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm simmering mine now. Hope it turns out just as good 😍 I don't have a few ingredients and will only know tmr as simmering ends at 12:30am! 😂

@@001awesomeyen good luck! =D

@@god-of-gamblers thanks. It still turned out yummy! 😋 Thank you, Mandy for this simple, easy and delicious recipe! ♥

Agreed that an invite to Mandy's for Chinese food would be amazing, but really good fish and chips are pretty awesome, too! 😋

Kevin, if worse comes to worse, see if they have canned quail eggs. If you use the canned eggs, figure on about 1-2 cans and skip the boiling / deshelling of the eggs. Drain, rinse and drain the eggs and add to the red braze as shown. Because the canned eggs keep much longer than fresh, they are often easier to find and less expensive but work in a recipe like this beautifully. I also use canned eggs for an appetizer, marinated in Zaolu "pickle sauce" overnight.

@@Bear-cm1vl Well that sounds good. Not to be mistaken, I really like to travel about the region for food procurement. It's a direct opposition to the Chem in Western foods making us a national syndrome. I have found Asian and more to be free of it if an round offering fit for a human table. My bloodwork and doctor's test results prove it. Mad science ran away with my dad, grandmother, and diabetes scare already. So, going far and wide to shop is a better experience in community and citizen, nationalist and patriot for me... Plus, way more interesting; even a fascination. SO happy she used quail eggs. My grandmother's farm included numerous fowl and the quail eggs are a kid-sized boiled egg memory most fond. It's right up there with goat butter on pancakes with maple syrup. Finding the eggs recently at Uwajimaya, I finally just could. Plus we have light rail now, getting around is so easy.

@@KevinWJenner you may get a kick out of this story then... I grew up on a farm and our neighbor was an older lady who my brothers and I helped with repairs and upkeep. I was about five, my oldest brother was in his 20's and my middle brother was in his mid teens when this happened. We had been working on fence repairs and about 0830 our neighbor offered us breakfast. She asked my oldest brother how many eggs he wanted and, to my shock, he said 12! My middle brother said 10 and my jaw hit the floor! She asked me and I said, "two please" only to get a very confused look from the lady, responding "are you sure?". It turned out she raised guinea hens and it takes about 3-4 of their eggs to equal a large chicken egg! She was kind enough to make me a couple extra slices of toast the morning I thought my brothers were just being greedy hogs!!!

@@Bear-cm1vl My Gran never much could get the Guinea Hens to give up their eggs... 'Course she ranged 'em. The only ones I had were a real procurement. You recall some serious detail from so long ago! As I recall, Guinea Fowl eggs were much like chicken. So are quail. But duck... Duck eggs are luxury. Best for pasta & more.

It is a new size which is not ready for sell yet. Maybe tby the end of this year.

Awesome! Thank you!

who's Mindy?

@@Marcel_Audubon She is the blogger.

@@yanglu9555 Mandy might be surprised to hear that

we also use regular eggs in china

yes

pork ribs, or beef stew meat

yes，you can do that. But you may want to 1 tbsp less soy sauce because we don't want the pork to be too salty as it is brasied alone without the eggs.

@@SoupedUpRecipes Thank you. I will try that.

Pssst. It's Mandy
