Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute dry sherry for Shaoxing wine, cider vinegar for Chinese black vinegar, and green leaf lettuce for iceberg lettuce.

    Took longer than anticipated but really tasty. I would make it spicier than suggested next time, for my taste.

    This is admittedly a lot of chopping and dicing, but the reward is a little bit PFChangs and a little bit gourmet with the addition of pine nuts. Our ice berg lettuce was riddled with worms, so we used tortillas and it became a sort of burrito/moo shu mashup.
