  1. Outstanding! I prepared this recipe, as I always do before rating, precisely as described on the published version. Anything else, it seems to me, is not a "fair" rating. Why would you ever again order this Cantonese favorite at a restaurant, when Lolly has shared her recipe with us? She's an accomplished chef: Please, please check "her page" and view all of her "published" recipes. Lolly: Thanks for your recipe!
