About

Dragon Lady Kitchen is a collection of family Chinese recipes passed down through generations. These dishes were taught to me by my mother, who learned from her own family. She never used written recipes — she cooked from memory, instinct, and taste. Over time, I realized that if I didn’t begin writing these recipes down, they could easily be lost. This site exists to preserve those traditions. The recipes here are not restaurant interpretations. They are home cooking — the way they were made in our kitchen. Some dishes are simple. Some take time. All are prepared the way they were taught in our family. Dragon Lady Kitchen is both a cookbook and a memory archive — a way to ensure these recipes continue to be shared and cooked for years to come.
