“My home had a mix of Chinese food (like steamed fish, black bean chicken, dumplings) and American food (like meatloaf, casseroles, salads). We rarely ate out in restaurants, so eating dinner at home with my entire family around the table was something that we did growing up.”

“Home tastes like congee with dried scallops, like dumplings with chilli oil and vinegar, pork rib broth with carrots.”
