About This Book

A practical collection of home-style Chinese recipes accompanied by explanatory notes on common seasonings, ingredient substitutions, and suggested quantities. It offers measured, step-by-step directions for tea, soups, rice dishes, seafood and meat preparations, vegetable dishes, fried dim-sum–style items, sauces and simple puddings, with techniques such as frying, deep-frying and cornstarch-thickened gravies. Many recipes state serving amounts and include kitchen tips for adapting traditional ingredients to widely available shortenings and groceries. The overall approach emphasizes straightforward instructions to help cooks reproduce authentic flavors using accessible methods and supplies.

CABBAGE ROLLS

½ lb. meat chopped fine
2 red peppers
1 onion
1 head of white cabbage
4 teaspoons soy bean sauce
pepper and salt

Place meat, onion and peppers in a meat grinder and grind the mixture fine. Season to taste.

Remove each leaf from the cabbage and wash and dry thoroughly. Take two tablespoons of the meat mixture and place on the cabbage leaf, shape it lengthwise and roll tight. Do the same thing with each leaf until all the meat mixture is used.

Place the cabbage rolls in a steamer and steam for half an hour, or until well done. Serve while hot.
