Rapid cooking

of vegetables is emphasised in both Chinese cooking and Ken hom's quick and easy chinese cooking as a distinct way of cooking unique to Chinese.
Chinese cooking has a recipe for Baked chinese cabbage, where cabbage and cheese are layered upon each other and baked. What a healthy way of replacing the flour sheets in lasagna, once in a while. The recipe for Chinese honey shortbread needs fewer ingredients that I am already sold on making it. Even Mandarin pancakes requires only 3 ingredients. I will try it while making rotis next time to see how they differ with oil in between the layers. Egg foo yong.
In Ken;s book, I saw a picture of yin yang bowl. I have referred to the Soy sauce before, but I didnt realise that there are light and dark versions of it.
In A tiger in the kitchen, the author introduces us to the concept of yin yang in food.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
