My dad gave me 2 pots that they bought while living in Taiwan. Unfortunately one of the funnel tops on one broke, the top can be fixed but not sure what I can use, glue wise, to repair it. I would love to find recipes or a recipe book.

Well I made the chicken soup and it was great! The is the best chicken soup I have ever had. I substituted some of the ingrediants but stayed with the cooking technique because I cook with what I have on hand. It’s more work then opening a can of Cambell’s but well worth the end results. This soup makes me want to take a trip down to Lotus Blue.

The Yunnan steam pot is a marvelous invention. Enjoy the soup and if you're in the New York area you can sample this dish at a new restaurant I'm working at... Lotus Blue.

I picked up a Yunnan red clay pot at a yard sale not knowing what it was or how to use it. I love cooking and baking and I’m always trying something different so whatever this pot was, I had to have it.
Thank you for the info and recipe for this pot. Looking forward to the chicken soup.

Margaret, I’m so pleased you like this soup. Warren and I love this soup as well. I make it just about every other week.

Addicted…that is what you will become if you invest in a Yunnan pot and make this recipe. It happened to my husband and me. It will happen to you, too. Don’t believe me? We bought a Yunnan pot in October and we have made this recipe once a week since. (I am on here now checking a quantity before we make it) Great post!

Sally, You should be able to buy parchment paper in just about any super market. Otherwise gourmet shops like Williams-Sonoma also carries them. You may be able to find them in large Chinatown supermarkets as well.

Question about Yunnan pot recipe. Do they sell parchment paper in the Asian market? If not, where can I find it? Or can I use wax paper?

Wonderful recipe but the pot is no longer available from The Wok Shop and nowhere in Flushing… any ideas where I could get one?

Glad to find this recipe — my mom used to make this dish with a celadon version of the pot my dad brought back from Thailand in 1969.

She would add flat noodles to the soup, which would soak up the broth. Definitely one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever had! Thanks for providing this long lost recipe…I’m making it tonight in the same celadon pot…
