Chinese Egg Recipes
Eggs are the most versatile ingredient in a Chinese kitchen: tomato & egg lives or dies by wok heat, steamed custard wants a 1.5:1 egg-to-water ratio, egg drop soup swirls in after the thickener, and lu dan's amber color comes from dark soy and spices. Twelve home recipes, from 15-minute quick dishes to banquet-style steamed custard.
