Osmanthus Egg Imitation Shark Fin 桂花翅

Osmanthus Egg Shark Fin, stir fry, recipe, chinese, empress dowager cixi, imperial,  桂花翅

This dainty and marvellously delicious stir fry, the Osmanthus Egg Shark Fin  桂花翅, is a dish fit for an emperor!  Or, rather fit for an Empress as this dish was originally created as a tribute to the redoubtable Empress Dowager Cixi 慈禧太后, she who ruled China from behind an embroidered screen for five decades from 1861 until her death in 1908.
