Tips
Ingredient Notes: Sherry is a pop in of fortified wine originally from southern Spain.
Don’t use the cooking sherry sold in many supermarkets–it can be surprisingly high in sodium.
Star anise (named for its star-shaped pods) lends a distinctive licorice-like flavor to numerous Asian dishes.
The pods come from a small evergreen tree that is native to China.
Sesame seeds can be purchased already toasted.
For easy cleanup, try a slow-cooker liner.
