Note from the producer:

Ming-Jinn believes that at best, recipes are guidelines that help you find the way. And at worst, they are a broken compass that can lead you astray.

His emphasis is on relationships as the conduit through which cooking knowledge flows.

However, after much haranguing from yours truly, he did finally concede that it would be good for people to know a little bit about what they're creating in advance so they can, you know, gather the needed materials...

Anyway, know that you can use this recipe as a starting point and that together with Hot Wok Academy you will learn to discover your own path, and soon you may hardly need the recipes at all!
