      Hello Tracy! Thank you so much for sharing your memories and recipes.
      Having been born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, I felt like I was slowly becoming disconnected from the deep understanding of food as medicine in my Chinese heritage. I missed these recipes with which my grandparents and parents nourished my body, mind, and soul. I sincerely appreciate the contemporary use of the Insta-pot in your recipes too! Thanks so much for serving as a link to my past.
      Best wishes, Evelyn
