Reflection

This is a very common and popular Chinese dish in China. I think it is very easy to find in Chinese restaurants here in America as well, but the cost of the dish in the restaurants is not as pleasing. Making the dish is super fast and super easy. I did not use any recipe from the website or any recipe book. I have learned how to make the dish when I was 13 years old. It only took me about 5 minutes to make the dish. Everything turned out very well. It is a very healthy dish, I did not add sugar/tomato sauce into the dish, because I want to make the dish healthier. It is also a good choice for a to-go meal since it doesn't take a long time to make and it is very and nutritious.
