Hi do you have a pork curry recipe that uses axone? I have no way of sourcing axone, so I’ll go with either a Chinese or Korean fermented soy-bean paste. Thanks🙏
Hi Ronita, I haven’t posted yet, will be doing it soon … you can add the axone in this recipe, just opt out the Sichuan peppercorns in the end… U can also make a dry version of this by letting the water evaporate and keep the potatoes as chunks. Hope this helps 🙂
