Ching-He Huang’s stunning Chinese stir-fry recipe is made with beef and green leafy ong choi (aka morning glory). This recipe is made for two people, but you could double the quantities to serve as a sharing menu at, say, Chinese New Year.
For a classic sharing dish for the table at Chinese New Year, try Ken Hom’s steamed chicken with Chinese sausage.
