Trey Yuen is the province of the Wong brother: John, James, Joe, Tommy and Frank. When all are presiding over their woks in their custom kitchen, it is a formidable lineup of Chinese cooking talent.

Smoke and flames rise all about them as the reach into their exotic condiment tray to create savory dishes from all areas of China. When the smoke clears, intricately arranged plates, beautiful to look at, are ready to be transported into the dining room. When sampled, they are as kind to the palate as they are to the eye.

Although many who love to eat Chinese food are reluctant to try to cook it, the Wongs assure us that the techniques are manageable and the ingredients not too difficult to find --- and certainly worth the trouble. Following the recipes with attention to detail will assure proper results, even without the special ovens and high-temperature woks available to the Wongs.

Unlike the other menus in the book there is no dessert presented by the Wong brothers. Traditionally the Chinese do not end the meal with a prepared sweet, as sugar is frequently used in the cooking of the procession of savory dishes that make up the menu.

A quick trip to a Chinese market or the gourmet section of the supermarket will be necessary to get the basics. From there, just get into the kitchen and enjoy cooking, as well as eating, Chinese.

Menu:

Hot and Sour Soup (Zesty, spicy mixture of mushrooms, beef, scallions and other savory

ingredients that thrill the palate with a bouquet of flavors.) Spring Rolls (Pork, mushrooms, garlic and ginger filled deep fried rolls.)

Szechuan Spicy Beef (Wine enhanced sliced beef with bountiful vegetables in a unique

and flavorful sauce.)

Kung Ming Shrimp (Shrimp and mushrooms sauteed in garlic and ginger served with

fried rice noodles.)

Whole Trout in Sweet and Sour Sauce (Tender sauteed trout in a traditional Chinese sweet and sour sauce.)
