This entry is an educational reconstruction. It does not claim that this exact recipe, title or set of quantities survives from Medieval China. Historical and prehistoric cooking must be interpreted from evidence whose quality and specificity vary greatly.
The reconstruction uses millet, cabbage and spring onions as a plausible framework for exploring the period. Availability would have depended on geography, season, trade, social status and the exact century represented.
Standardized grams, controlled heat and precise timings are modern conveniences. They are included so the recipe can be repeated consistently and safely in a present-day kitchen.
This recipe is classified as Historical Reconstruction. It should be treated as a historically informed interpretation, not as a verbatim surviving recipe.
