Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe comes from a cooking book called 色香味食谱 ：林美慧 家常菜 [Sexiang weishi : Lin Meihui jiachang cai] / 林美慧 [Lin Meihui] = Savory aesthetics : home-style easy Chinese cooking / Lin Mei-hui. Taibei: Culture & Life Publishing Company, 1998.
I love to use this book, because it has a lot of soups in it and because it proves that not all Chinese dishes are complicated.
