Mom and I had never even tasted Chinese food until about 1980 — that’s when the Hunan Chinese Restaurant opened up in Moberly. We had lunch there frequently and liked the chicken dishes the best. From the kitchen of Wanda Cupp Thornburg, Moberly MO.
Pork is symbolic of prosperity and is a favorite dish served for Chinese New Year’s. The Chinese also like to serve sweet and sour dishes as the word sour in Cantonese, sounds like grandchild, and portends the wish for offspring.

I got this from a friend of mine after remarking that I would like to try making some pork dumplings at home.
This is a quick Cantonese recipe for succulent, melt-off-the-bone tender chicken from Diana Kuan’s excellent blog, “Appetite for China”. The liquid should cover at 3/4 of the chicken; if you need more liquid maintain the 2 parts soy sauce to 3 parts water ratio.
