Preparing the Vegetable Soup
Add a little oil to the pot. Cut the vegetables—Chinese yam (potato), zucchini, and cabbage—into chunks and toss them into the oil pan with a sizzle. This is called "bottom oil." After covering and steaming until cooked, drizzle a little oil over the top of the vegetables; this is called "top oil."
