Question
my husband loves the pea pod leaves he had while traveling in Beijing. None of our local resteraunts seems to serve the dish. Could you suggest where I could find an authentic recipe and perhaps a good substitute for the pea pod leaves? I live in the northeastern region of the usa. Thank you!

Answer
