Recipe
Cooking tips
- To avoid burning, sauté the whole garlic cloves over medium-low heat, rolling them frequently, until they turn a golden potato-like color; this mellows the spiciness and brings out a toasty flavor.
- Using thoroughly washed regular tangerine peel instead of dried citrus peel is sufficient to eliminate any gamey odors and add a refreshing citrus aroma.
- When melting sugar in oil, do not stir—let it melt naturally to prevent crystallization and achieve a smooth caramel sauce.
- If you want a stronger Chinese spice flavor, add 1–2 more star anise according to your preference.
