I first had this when I was volunteering at the Botanical Garden for the Chinese Festival. Everyone who watched the demonstration was served a generous serving and recieved a copy of the recipe. Since then, I have made copies of the recipe and given them to friends. My copy is getting worn out, but is still usable. Now I'll have a new copy! Also this can be used with beef, shrimp, scallops, even tofu.
