Dan Dan Noodles, forbidden rice, and beggar's chicken. These are just some of the names of Chinese dishes that beg us to know their backstories. The new cookbook, "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and Other Curiously Named Classic Chinese Dishes," tells us the stories behind these names. It illustrates them, comic-book style, while also teaching us how to make the recipes. Food writer Ying Chang Compestine speaks to host Carolyn Beeler about her new cookbook, illustrated by Vivian Truong.
