Many Asians are lactose intolerant in adulthood- after puberty they tend not
to produce lactase, the enzyme which digests it- that's why there's little
to no cheese or milk in modern Chinese foods. OTOH, this recipe may not have
come fron people of solid Asian heritage- many Northerners eat much more
dairy in adulthood than most equatorial folk, because milk is a necessary
food source in northern climes. Depending on the time period, this recipe
could have been popular with any of a number of different genetic heretages.
