token vegetable.

chicken or soy sauce chicken.

sauces -- premium dark soy

sauce, chili with garlic, and

with lard (for best flavor),

dark and light soy sauce,

sprouts, Chinese chives and

sometimes prawns and egg.

• Essential to the dish is good

“wok hei” or breath of wok,

the qualities and tastes

imparted by cooking on a

wok using high heat.

• Wonton noodles look simple but the perfect one

is elusive. The thin egg noodles need to be of the

right texture, the sauce has to be well-balanced,

and the pork or shrimp dumplings ought to be

juicy and meaty.

white radish (daikon).

large slabs or cakes.

pieces and fried with
