What universe is enclosed inside that little bag? Luwei--spicy meat stew--has to be one of the most economical, substantial and democratic of all the dishes known to Chinese cuisine. Whether it be ordinary home cooking, cold starters in a restaurant banquet, or snacks at a night-market food stall, it is sure to be on the menu.
鹵味，在中國菜裡，大概可以算是最經濟實惠且大眾化的菜餚，從家中的日常菜色，到餐廳宴席的冷盤前菜，乃至夜市攤販的小吃零嘴，都少不了它。
