Look at all the gyoza in the pan, lined up so neatly! They remind me of the terracotta warriors in Xi’an. 😄
We tried a new chili sauce, which has tomato in it. It is very popular in Japan apparently. I thought it was good, but I prefer the garlic chili oil mixed with ponzu. I remember I had dipping sauces of shoyu (soy sauce) and vinegar when I was with my friends from Hong Kong, but I haven’t had it in years. Maybe I need to try it again.
Speaking of hot sauces, I just ordered three different kinds from Fly By Jing. They all look delicious, but I am most excited about the Mala Spice Mix, because I love the numbing peppers I had when I visited China. It might take a few weeks to arrive, but I am sure it will be worth it!
またね~
Those gyozas look glorious tucked into the pan. And it looks like you got Laoganma, which is a stable of my household; I see it’s the tomato version, but I also recommend getting its fried chili oil– one of my favorites! Enjoy your meal. :)
I’ll make it a priority to get the fried chili oil next time we go to the market. Thanks for the suggestion Rebecca!
My wife picked up a bottle of Laoganma yesterday by coincidence! I can’t wait to try it.
You’ll have to let me know!
