troubleshooting
1. bok choy, chinese broccoli ↗, or their relatives are my go-to choice. basically anything green with leaves and some stalk will work well.
2. for the most authentic dish, consider getting some cha siu ↗, beef brisket stew ↗, or roast duck ↗ from your local Cantonese deli. But really any protein works.
