Traditionally, the Chinese have prepared their dishes without written recipes. And even today, many Chinese families do not rely on cookbooks for their traditional meals, rather they learn by observing the more experienced chefs in the household.

While this can make it difficult to duplicate the flavour of any given dish with precision, cooking with one's heart can result in an equally delicious meal.

The recipes we have included here have been adapted from traditional Chinese methods as well as from the kitchen of the legendary Noodle Makers' restaurant. Follow them directly or adapt them to your own personal tastes. Either way, we hope you enjoy both the experience and the results!
