I actually made this with fish (bass, as I don't like carp) instead of chicken as the original recipe intended. I think that beer compliments fish better than chicken, and the kind of beer you use is important! TsingTao, a Chinese beer is a lighter, malty beer and a good choice for this recipe. If not available, a good Pilsner will work, as it will be similar. Anyway having traveled in Yangshuo and Guilin, this recipe called me back to those lovely places and made a slovely entree.

I am living in Toronto, Canada now. The first thing I ever cooked was a carrot cake that my dad taught me when I was 8 years old. I am a gardener and like to forage for wild and local foods, and turn them into delicious meals.
