Cultural Heritage

Prepared for generations for family gatherings and celebrations, it represents the heart of regional culinary identity.
Dietary Substitutions

Chef Technique Tips
Ensure all ingredients are sliced to uniform thickness and patted dry before they hit the pan. Searing in a scorching hot skillet or wok creates authentic smoky caramelization ('wok hei') rather than steaming the ingredients.
