- [Authentic Recipe]
- Prepare 'San Xian' ingredients. Basically 'Shrimp', 'Squid', and 'Pork (or Sea Cucumber in high-end shops)'. Score the squid in a pinecone pattern.
- Cut bamboo shoots, carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and bok choy (or napa cabbage) into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat oil in a wok, sauté scallions and ginger for aroma, then stir-fry pork and vegetables.
- Pour pork (or chicken) broth, season with soy sauce, oyster sauce, wine, a little sugar, and white pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Toss in the shrimp and squid *now* (to prevent overcooking and toughening).
- Thicken heavily with potato starch slurry, and drizzle sesame oil at the end to unify the aroma.
- Dump over piping hot white rice.

[For Everyone] Almost identical to Japanese Chuka Don, a staple with deep oyster sauce richness. 'Hui Fan' lets you eat sides and rice quickly with one spoon, a strong ally for businessmen at lunch.
