Grandma Ying cooks

My grandmother, Ying, ran a small kitchen in a quiet village in China, where the kitchen was never really hers alone. It belonged to whoever came through the door hungry. She cooked for family, neighbors, workers, and sometimes people she barely knew. There was no recipe book sitting on her shelf. No measurements written on paper. No list of ingredients taped to the wall. Everything was in her hands. I watched her cook when I was young, but I never realized how much knowledge was hidden in those simple movements. She knew when the wok was hot enough. When the oil was ready. When the rice needed to stay untouched. And how to turn a few simple ingredients into something that tasted completely different. Now I'm sharing the little tricks Grandma Ying taught me. Not complicated recipes. Just the simple Chinese cooking secrets passed down from her kitchen to mine.
