How to build a Chinese-style family dinner

A satisfying table is about contrast, not the number of dishes.

1. 01

   Choose a rice or noodle dish as the anchor.

2. 02

   Add one savory protein and one bright vegetable plate.

3. 03

   Include a crisp or tangy small dish for contrast.

4. 04

   Put sauces on the table so everyone can season to taste.
