Recipe Story:

It is from my dad. That was one day before I go abroad for undergrad learning. He was warried about my life in the United States because he could not get used of the food here, and he thought I would be the same. He said never treat myself too harsh, be kind to myself. And the best way for a Chinese people to treat oneself better, is to eat better. Having delicious food is so important and it rooted in our culture. Food is not only things that feed us, but also something represent our lives, our identification, and even our existence.
