Anhui's Cheesy Chicken (red fermented bean curd)

27 August 2015 - Anhui's Cheesy Chicken (red fermented bean curd)

There was a half jar of red fermented bean curd left in the refrigerator. So in attempt to finish the jar, I was looking for a recipe and found this.

The recipe is from Carolyn J Phillips
