What’s Mia Eating

hey ho, more from the pile of recipes that I got by calling my parents and guesstimating recipes from the list of ingredients my parents recall. Remember, these recipes have no actual amounts in them:

Stewed Chicken Legs!

Recipe also works with thighs or wings, anything bone-in

Prep:

slice some ginger, put it in a little container with some star anise

poke some cuts into the raw chicken to let the flavour in

It’ll make it easier if you have all these flavouring ingredients already mixed in one container beforehand:

dark soy sauce

regular soy sauce

shaoxing wine

sugar

salt

oyster sauce (ours was expired so I went with a splash of hoisin)

chili (you can do dried flakes but i had sriracha on hand)

>>put pot/wok on the heat

add oil add sliced ginger and star anise,

>>fry for a moment

add chicken

>> stir fry, high heat for a moment

add sauce marinade from earlier

>> stir fry, high heat for a moment

pour in cold water, just enough to submerge, wait until boil

>>simmer for 20-35 minutes, depending on how much chicken you’re working with

I prefer to take it off the heat and let it cool down whilst sitting in the sauce, and then I serve it (often over rice)

Happy Cooking!

i just wanted to tell you that i really, really respect the way you engage with all of the different things on here. good, new information gets sourced and fact checked and then celebrated, regardless of what it is. you seem to be so comfortable in your knowledge and in your identity that you never get petty about someone else knowing something that is Your Brand that you haven't learned yet (which.. a significant number of popular informational blogs really do), or about being corrected when someone actually does have new, legitimate info that either contradicts what you learned or expands on it. it brings me so much joy to see you celebrating learning new things all the time, especially as you take the role of a teacher on here. sometimes we forget, in the role of a teacher, that we are still growing and learning every day we are alive in the world. that you never stop being a student, even when you become a teacher, because there is more knowledge in the universe than anyone can learn in 30 or 50 or 1000 years. so it's just so good to see you engage with the world, your work and your followers as teacher and student simultaneously.

shitty information given in good faith gets fact checked and gently but firmly rebutted, without discouraging the curiosity of the person who proposed it. you're never mean to someone who asked kindly and in good faith. and the times someone has been earnest but worded poorly, and they've told you as much, you've been very kind and encouraging while not budging on the morality aspect.

and then shitty information given in bad faith gets ridiculed if it's fairly obvious to your general audience, which, you're also somehow literally always very funny about it—and if another person writes in to earnestly ask about it because it wasn't obvious to them, you clarify to them without letting the ridicule of the information and the dickhead that presented it leak out onto curious or uninformed individuals. you don't shame people for not having access to "obvious" knowledge, and you discourage others from it as well.

shitty information given in bad faith that is even slightly convincing gets thoroughly debunked and the people who maliciously disseminated it ridiculed, once again without shaming uninformed / well-meaning people for not knowing things.

and sometimes it makes me very emotional that you are kind, earnest and grounded enough to work out how to respond to these things, for your own mental health/online experience and for all of ours. i just. really appreciate you, bones. you're very good. is what i'm saying.

This is one of the kindest and most thoughtful things a person has ever said to me. Thank you anon, truly. I am struggling to come up with a response that feels appropriate.
