The “Western Food” China Invented: Iron Plates, Borscht, and Spicy Soy Sauce
The Iron Plate, Borscht, and Spicy Soy Sauce: A Century of Chinese Western Food On a wooden tray sits a black iron plate, still sizzling. Beside the steak lies a fried egg, its yolk half-set, its edges crisp. A small knot of spaghetti, a few florets of broccoli, two slices of raw carrot. The server brings it over, asks "How done?", and before you can answer, black pepper sauce has already been poured on. The sauce bursts on the hot iron, white smoke rises, the sound is like rain.

God Is Not Jealous
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” We hear that ancient command and imagine a petty deity demanding attention: a jealous God, insecure and threatened by rival gods. So the modern ego smirks. I’ll choose an elephant, a guru, a crystal, a philosophy. I’ll take seventy-five percent of Christ and decorate the rest myself.

The Price of a Scratch
Her fingernail caught a faint raised ridge along the edge of the sofa back. Not leather grain—damage. Compressed fibers pushed up into a rough burr, about four centimeters long, its curve matching the sharp bottom edge of a table leg.
