- In Chinese cuisine, we usually serve a few dishes to go with rice, like a soup, a meat dish and a vegetable dish. Hence the serving size varies depending on how many dishes we prepare. For X and I, I will prepare one more meat dish to go with this vegetable dish and it will be enough for 2 of us. If you are serving this for 4, you should add in two or three more dishes to complete the meal. If not, you will need to double the quantities so that there will be enough to go around.
