  • Notes:

    The recipe says cook until done which would take over an hour, just until the meat can fall off the bones. *The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon salt, but I would add a teaspoon at a time. 1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. Saltiness comes from chung choi and soy sauce added to the recipe so use caution with additional salt. Easier to correct too little salt than too much salt.
