Do you mean "foo yee"? (I've got to figure out how FlyerEC posts photos.... I keep getting that stupid lines error... ) mandarin furu or Hokkien taolu

If that's what you're thinking, then yes, that's what I used. You should be able to get some at any asian supermarkets. I usually keep a bottle on hand in case I'm feeling sick. I know in Singapore and Malaysia back in the olden days, some people would take a little bit and spread it on bread (I wouldn't recommend it but if it works for you, go for it)

For dinner, I'm thinking of getting the Chinese roasted fatty pork with (siu yook) crispy skin, and dipped in oyster sauce mixed with granulated pepper.
I haven't had siu yuk in a while... Might pick some up later. Never had it with oyster sauce though. Here they usually use hoisin or a similar sweet sauce.

Tyically I just take a cube or two and put it in the rice. Then break off bits with each mouthful. Same for salty eggs (which reminds me, I should make some... it's getting to that time of year). So many "winter" traditions I need to do...

growing up, I had it with sauted string beans. Definitely high in sodium so I generally dont eat it now.

If you want to try a not so healthy dish (but very flavourful), use pork oil (or bacon fat) and stir fry water morning glory (Napa cabbage works as well)... Just al dente... Plate. Lightly blanch a handful of bean sprouts ans set aside. Then in the same pan mix a few cubes of fermented tofu and a little water. Smoosh the cubes and mix into a sauce... You'll need to let it reduce and thicken a bit...

So vege on the bottom, pour the sauce on top and sprinkle the bean sprouts on top of that. If you have and "crispy pork lard" (very common in Singapore and Malaysia... a byproduct of rendering the fat), sprinkle that on top too.... Serve with rice...

Very tasty but oh so unhealthy...

I felt inspired today and prepared a chicken cacciatore for Sunday dinner. Served over white rice.

I don't see any pepperonis, just green pepper slices.

The braiding effect is done by using the dough slicer and putting indentations in the edges. This also helps prevent the crust from bubbling. My local pizza place doesn't care about bubbles. When I used to work as a driver in a pizza place back in the late 80's, they check the oven every few minutes, and if they saw a bubble forming, they would "pop" it and add a little more cheese over the area.
