Plain Cooking

It May be interesting in later years to know what kind of food was commonly eaten in China, but to us it is more important to concentrate on what is best about plain food, and to know how to achieve excellence through plainness. The cooking of plain food is based on economy, simplicity and speed. There are those who eat plain food because they are poor; others cook it because they do not know any better. But plain cooking can also be appreciated as a matter of choice.
