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

    The book's "XO sauce" called for in this recipe can be made in advance.

    Once all ingredients were prepped, it came together pretty fast! My pan was too small (which at first I didn’t think would be the case) so next time I would use my wok. Used 3 links lap cheong instead of 4 since my XO sauce (a Kenji recipe from The Wok) already had some cured meat in it. This was so simple with good flavour and I would make it again.
