Growing up, when my Mom made it, my day was pretty much rotten ;-) <br /><br />Now I would be the happiest guest of all at your table, to enjoy this great take on "chuchu".<br /><br />on a side note, LIsa - one of the books you are reading, Key to Chinese COoking, is simply amazing! I feel in love with it the moment I first opened it, and wish I had a little more free time to indulge.
