Have you he...Thank you for the Dou ban brand info. Have you heard of the chef Danny Bowien? This is a recipee I found of his although he calls it 'Henan Chicken Stew': http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323968304578250242529683114.html?mod=wsj_article_exploremore_row3_3 I've seen somebody explain to him that: "Don't understand why the dish has to be linked up with the word 'Henan' which refers to the Province in China. The chicken is not from Henan and the cooking procedure is no where near the original preparation of the Henan Chicken. The dish should only be called Beer-Braised Chicken perhaps it is a bit bland and ordinary nevertheless it is still tasteful from my imagination." And indeed it seems to me very much like Da Pan Ji recipes I've seen elsewhere. I used soy sauce instead of Fish sauce. Just thought that would be more authentic. Of course, he doesn't mention to eat with noodles. Another one I've made is this one: http://littlefish-grace.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/big-plate-o-chicken.html And the last one I made was a combination of Bowien's and Jamie Oliver's: http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/member-recipes/Big%20Plate%20Chicken%20%28Dapanji%29/4602 I used more potatoes than either as the one I had in Chengdu had a lot more veges than Bowien's in particular. I remember there were some pieces of garlick and ginger and onion in it along with a lot of scallions and peppers and carrots. Will you let us know if you try it out?<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-49596346692192106732013-05-30T15:43:09.318+01:002013-05-30T15:43:09.318+01:00Anon - Ah, I haven't come across that one befo...Anon - Ah, I haven't come across that one before. I use this one, http://posharpstore.com/en-us/sichuan-gaofuji-pixian-broad-bean-paste-1lb-p1446.aspx which I buy at See Woo in Chinatown. It's quite salty especially when compared to brands like Lee Kum Kee, so I watch how much light soy / salt I add later on. I love Da Pan Ji! like having a big anise-y chicken facial steam.

It is a dish designed to have a bit of, with other vegetable dishes. Fuschia Dunlop uses 2.5 tbsp, I seem to recall. What brand do you use?<br /><br />Yes I have had Da Pan Ji at Silk Road in Camberwell, though never made it myself.

The reason I say that is that I made a Da pan Ji this week with 2 tablespoons of Chilli bean sauce and I was the only one in the household able to eat it. OK.....they're not Asian but neither are many of you readers I would bet.

The sauce will be quite loose as there's no thickener in there, which is good for noodles / rice to soak it up.
