Mama Li showed me everything I know about cooking Asian foods. One of the warmest memories I have from Mama Li was the patience she showed toward me when she hired me to assist in her restaurant's kitchen. She would show me how to choose the right ingredients at the market, handle the knife and chop quickly the fresh produces, prepare the secret sauce with just the right amount of spices and ingredients, stir-fry with the most amazing pan in my kitchen, the wok, how to use a bamboo steamer and so much more. I learned so much for those two wonderful years working for Mama Li. Since, then I have continued cooking like Mama Li showed me while adapting the recipes to my own family's preferences. In this book, you will find a collection of her best Chinese take-out recipes. They are filled with flavors from Asia, delicate and so fragrant. The ingredients are fresh, healthy, and wholesome. They are easy to find in every supermarket nowadays. But, if you happen to be living near an Asian market, don't hesitate to visit and get some of your ingredients there. It will make it even more authentic.
