"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

These are called "omelets" but they're really a foo-young variation.
Yummy stuff and easy to do. 1. Combine water, cornstarch, sugar, soy
sauce and bouillon in small saucepan. Cook over medium beat until
mixture boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. 2. Combine eggs, salt
and pepper in medium bowl. Beat until frothy. 3. Finely chop
mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of the oil in small skillet.
Cook mushrooms in the oil for 1 minute. Stir mushrooms into egg
mixture. 4. Wash and drain sprouts. Remove shells and veins from
shrimp. Finely chop shrimp, 4 of the onions and celery. Mix sprouts,
shrimp, chopped onions and celery into egg mixture. 5. For each
omelet, heat 1/2 tablespoon (7 mL) of the oil in large skillet or
7-inch (18 cm) omelet pan. Cook over medium heat until hot. Pour 1/2
cup (125 mL) egg mixture into oil. Cook until light brown, 2 to 3
minutes on each side. Stack omelets on serving plates. Pour warm soy
sauce mixture over omelets. Garnish with sliced green onions. Makes 4
servings (2 omelets each). From "Chinese Cooking Class Cookbook" by
