Three Emperor Egg (三皇蛋)

March 23, 2009 Chinese

I wish I can tell you why this dish is called the Three Emperor Egg. With no records can be found on internet, I only can assume that this dish is named after the three Emperors in the Chinese legend, dated back 4000-6000 years ago.
In fact, even the legend itself has lost in translation after [...]
