Hey, so i am craving hulatang right now. My favorite chinese place closed and I don’t want to break the bank trying to find a good one right now. I am not (much of) a food snob, i just have understandable food anxieties and would prefer cooking myself.
Do any of y’all have a good, reliable cookbook or website you could recommend? I mean, primarily for hulatang but Chinese food in general. I have a couple back burner projects that could benefit as well from some expert guidance. I feel like I have gotten as far as my nose and tongue (which are damn good) can get me. I would prefer English language materials, but i can use translation tools on written stuff.
I’m about to head out so it might take me a bit to get back, but i’ll be around today.


oh you can’t go wrong with kenji. my understanding is this is hulatang hot pepper soup, not hot and sour, but i don’t really know. they look the same so i can adapt from here though. thank you so much!
