Primary soup
One may wonder why a dish cooked in a restaurant is better than one cooked at home. A better cook may indeed affect the word, but the real secret is the primary soup is used for gravy and the final cooking instead of water. This soup is always made of equal weights of chicken and lean pork: say % pound of each, for each pint of water. It is advisable to use not less than 6 pints of water and meat in proportion. CHINESE SAUCE
Chinese sauce
Boil Chinese white beans slowly for 6 hours. Strain the beans and expose the bean soup in a big pot placed under the hot sun. The surface of the liquid turns brown and has a top layer. Remove this layer of brown. A little later, take off the other layers, and so on until there is no brown layer. Add salt to this, and boil. This is called See Yout, meaning sauce. It can be bought, ready prepared, in any Chinese grocery store.

Summary
When a man sees or smells something tasty, his mouth begins to water. The water is a dilution of hydrochloric acid, with which food is digested. If he does not chew his food long enough to let the water form and mix with the food, he has a sickness known as indigestion. Therefore, when he goes to a physician, the physician will give him some form of dilute hydrochloric acid to digest his undigested food to feel all right. Since Chinese food is prepared in so tasty and fancy away, it makes one’s mouth water the moment you look at it. Therefore it makes indigestion impossible.
