Eight
Please edit it:
There is no official definition for the Eight Treasures or Babao, which in fact depends on your favor or appetite. For example, the popular Chinese food Babao Fan (eight-treasure rice pudding) is made out of sticky rice, longan, lotus seed and other 5 delicious ingredients (whatsoever, only if that are yummy or nutritious); Babao Cai: eight-treasure pickles; a Babao Box (jewel case) contains a variety of jewels, not necessary 8 jewels. So "Eight Precious Things, also known as the Eight Treasures, or babao in Chinese" are all right, only if you enjoy them!

Hi Jobb, I'm not used to Chinese cuisine so it was a bit difficult to understand. ' I can't understand the last sentence. There is no straightforward recipe for the Eight Treasures, or Babao: the dish is cooked differently depending on your preference or apetite.

Hi Jobb,
I'm not used to Chinese cuisine so it was a bit difficult to understand.
A dish has a recipe, not a 'definition.'
Numbers must be typed as words, not numerals: eg eight not '8.'
I can't understand the last sentence.

Mattewg,
I think the what Jobb is trying to explain is the concept of 'babao' or 'eight treasures' rather than any recipe. This is because 'babao' is not nececssarily a style of cooking -- not like braised or baked or sauteed is a style -- but rather a symbolic concept.
In Chinese cooking, culture, folklore, (all fairly intertwined), 'babao' simply means there are eight centra
