Stir-fry, steam, stew and the Chinese of the cutting board. This page lists 54 words from Chinese Trainer's inventory, with hanzi, pinyin and English, in the HSK 2–4 band. It is not a scan of an official paper; the same rows feed SRS in the app. Start with HSK 1–2 rows when the topic includes them, and add the rest once you can say three sentences out loud.
