    The "science" behind cooled boiled water is the removal of excess bubbles so that the egg doesn't souffle up when it is steaming to produce a smooth custard. Hope that explains it.

    The science of traditional food preparation. In the old days, people get water from wells or springs. To rid of the impurities, bacteria or smell, people boiled the water before they consume it. Your mom must be from a well-to-do family that she will take the extra step to boil and cool down the soup base. There is quality control. It made sense in the past or even nowadays depend where you live. .

    lol, I can so relate to Dude… I remembered whining over 'this same dish again?' when I was a kid. I have yet to yearn for the taste, but I can see myself making it for my grandad and hubby. Talk about hypocrite hahaha (Thank you so much for the recipe, my mum never taught me how to cook – well, she hates cooking.)

    Stirring pork in one direction binds the proteins and becomes stickier. You can see this happening if you do it in one direction. You'll start to see little stringy connections of the proteins. What this does is make for a better binding AND holding in of moisture.

    Thanks for your recipes; I've watched about half. They do bring back childhood memories, the good food ones (no comment). You taught me to use my Instant Pot I must say, the portions of ingredients might need a measuring spoon.

    I made this when I was much younger with the old school rice cookers that was common back then before all the fuzzy logic fancy rice cookers, not anytime recently. I just add random seasoning in the cupboard (black or white pepper, salt or soy sauce or dashi powder, any random dried herbs and garlic and onion powder), water or milk. Great with rice. With this lazy recipe, Asians will never go hungry with these inredients at home. And with the old school rice cookers I throw all the ingredients in the inner pot used for cooking rice. So easy.

    Just came across this recipe tonight — I've been looking for one for at least 50 years! Guess I've been asking the wrong people, because in my home town, Toronto, I only ever saw Chinese men cooking. My dad always cooked all the meals, he once had a restaurant and could make everything from kedgeree to Spotted Dick. This resulted in my belief that all men could cook. The first day living with my partner, a Scot, informed me of the sad truth. Anyway, thanks so much for this recipe which I will make as soon as I get a couple of necessary items from the asian grocery store. I am so happy! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
