Many of the recipes require few ingredients and are brilliantly easy to make, so try your hand at blanched choy sum with sizzling oil, Hangzhou broad beans with ham, pock-marked old woman's bean curd or steamed chicken with shiitake mushrooms, or, if you've ever in need of a quick fix, Fuchsia's emergency late-night noodles.
