About
Just as you put Parmesan cheese on your spaghetti Bolognese, in Taiwan they put pickles on everything from soup to stinky tofu. It adds flavor, and color to the dish.
This dish can, and should, be made a few hours in advance. You can also play with the recipe, using any number of vegetables from Chinese eggplant to cabbage.
