MIXED VEGETABLES IN TARO NEST (12 servings)
Chef: Lam Sing-lun (Hotel Furama Inter-Continental) "Fragrant
Surroundings Pond" conveys images of rural peace and petite elegance,
both enhanced further by the rhyming sounds of the Chinese
characters. A traditional dish, sauteed mixed vegetables, is
presented innovatively.

two-thirds of slices into thins strips (for edge of basket). Cut
remaining one-third into strips 1.5 cms wide (for base of basket).
