Chinese food and the way it is prepared is influenced by the two major philosophies – Confucianism and Taoism. One of the standards set by Confucius was that food must be cut into small bite-size pieces before being served. Those who follow Taoism focus more on food that promotes health and longevity and those that have healing powers.
The coming Chinese food recipe – Veg momos can be made in two ways, either fried or steamed. I prefer the lather coz it’s a much healthier option.
