The subject in context of "embodied"
Can you tell me what is the subject in context of "embodied" in the below sentence?
If "which is" is ellipsised befoer "embodied," it seems it (= which, or subject) can be 'the idea' or 'its flavor.'
I'm not sure.
In Chinese food, the idea is that it should be boiling hot, because that is crucial to its flavor, embodied in the phrase wok hei, which means the ‘breath' or essence of the combination of tastes added by a hot wok.
