“Have you eaten? Not yet? Just throw together some noodles for lunch. That fish is excellent. Don’t roast it, that would be a pity. It just needs to be slightly steamed. Don’t add any salt. Whatever you do, no salt. Salt dries the fish and it won’t be tender. Just get a pot of boiling water and put salt around the plate…”

— Eat Drink Man Woman (1994), written by Ang Lee
