Looking for a recipe for a Dongbei classic chicken, mushroom star anise broth cellophane noodles
After reading this article in the New York Times "Flushing's New Flavors " I would love to find a recipe to make this dish. If anyone knows where I can find the recipe or can share what you know about the Northeastern dish I would be grateful.
"A Dongbei classic: chicken pieces braised with wild mushrooms in a star anise and cassia-scented broth. At Northeast Taste, the dish is called "stupid" chicken stew, which is an accurate translation for the Chinese term for free-range birds, which are allowed to grow slowly instead of being rushed to slaughter."

That sounds really great, and it's from the newspaper of one of my favorite places on earth...Melbourne, AU.
Weird that the Chinese call the birds that have room to run around and grow slowly "stupid" I'd say they were "smarties".

I am confused by one thing in the recipes: instead of a number for the tsp sesame oil, there are small boxes. Any idea what numbers those boxes represent? TIA

In bot cases, it should read 12 tsp sesame oil. I don't know why it's so wierd.
