This dish is called poon choi" meaning "basin
vegetables" in the Cantonese dialect because it was originally
served in a washbasin
(probably because it was large enough for the communal dish it
is meant to be).
Here sliced wombok
and leek underlie tiger prawns, Japanese scallops, baby abalone
with mushrooms and baby corn.
The gravy is based on abalone and oyster sauces. |
