As offered by an Asian and her Asian friends taught by Asian families:

• Crepes: 1 cup flour, 2 eggs, 1.5 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, Nutella or whatever you want to put inside the crepe. Use a hand mixer, or blender for smoother texture
• Scrambled eggs + tomato: Crack eggs into bowl. (Season now if you want) Mix eggs. (Also season now if you want) Slice tomato into pieces (doesn’t have to be small but shouldn’t be super big either). 4 eggs: 1 tomato is good if tomato is large (feeds way more than one person). Add oil to pan. Either put eggs first or tomato first; either way, egg shouldn’t be fully cooked when you add tomato in. (season now if you want — around 1 spoonful for 4 eggs). Cook until, well, cooked.
• Fried eggs: make scrambled eggs... but without scrambling them (shocker)
• Tomato and Egg Soup: Clean a tomato and cut into pieces (getting rid of the inedible parts). Boil a pot of water and put the tomato in (the water doesn’t need to be boiling yet). Add salt and preserved vegetables (za cai, anyone?). While waiting for it to boil (you can do this before the other stuff too), whip up an egg. After the soup is boiling, SLOWLY mix in the egg. Add cilantro if you want. Turn off the stove. Yeet
• Pigs in a Blanket: place aluminum foil/wax paper on a baking sheet. (Maybe preheat to 350º if you want, not necessary if you’re using a toaster oven.) Follow instructions on the box for preparing pie crust I dunno. Spray the aluminum foil with oil/Grease the aluminum foil to prevent sticking. Cut pie crust into pieces that would fit around whatever kind of sausage you’re using. (Some recipes say biscuits and idk how that works) (If you want to use cheese, wrap cheese around sausage first, and then:) Wrap pie crust around sausage. Bake until biscuit is brown (time depends on your oven and stuff)
• Potstickers: Add oil to pan & spread it around. Put in as many dumplings as you want. Add water so it covers bottom of pan. Put lid on. Let it do its magic until it starts crackling and all the water is gone. Check the underside for a layer of jian de stuff and you’re good.
• Pasta/wonton/noodles/dumplings: boil water/salt water. Once water is boiled, place [insert food] in. Once [insert food] either floats or is soft, lift ‘em out. For pasta/noodles, you can continue by putting the cooked noodles in another pan that has oil & sauce in it.
• Spinach: Wash/rinse thoroughly until clean. Cut into 3-4 inch pieces(?). Separate the pieces(?????like the petals???) of garlic. Use the side of a chef’s knife to shatter/flatten the pieces. Get rid of the outer skin. Mince the garlic petal thingies into smaller pieces. Put oil in a frying pan or a wok and heat. Once heated, add the spinach and garlic. Add salt and stir fry (just kind of mix it around). Turn off stove. I hate veggies
• Clam chowder: you need canned clam, heavy whipping cream, broth (chicken or vegetable), celery, potato, onion, butter, optional bay leaves, and flour if it doesn’t solidify near the end. Peel and boil potatoes in water, and then cut them. Clean and cut up celery, and dice some onion (cut the onion down the middle, cut off the roots, peel). Melt some butter and add the onion. Stir until the onion turns translucent (or burnt). Add broth, and then add the celery and potato (keep stirring brotha). Then, add the clams and cream (stir!). Drop in some bay leaves and let sit for a while. If the chowder doesn’t solidify after a while, sift in some flour.
