Prompt
Write optional questions to document a family recipe’s ingredients, measures, origin and variations. Input: use only the notes at the end. If a fact this job needs is missing, ask one direct question and do not guess. Format for Lunar New Year recipe interview: 1. Preserve attribution and distinguish recollection from confirmed instructions. Do not add facts, names, dates, numbers or sources that are not in the notes. Notes: Auntie Sook described a dumpling filling at a 2016 lunch in Busan. Optional; she may skip any question. Treat answers as recollection unless she says a step is from a written recipe she still uses. Ask: what she called the filling and who cooked with her; which ingredients she remembers and which amounts she is sure of; whether the pork weight was fixed or changed with the guests; whether she added chives, garlic, or both, and if that was her change; whether the fold was seen or written down; which year and city to attach if she wants that recorded; whether Jin may label uncertain steps "Sook's recollection, not a tested recipe"; who else should be named if they stood at the same table.

Optional questions for Auntie Sook. She described a dumpling filling at a 2016 lunch in Busan. She may skip any item. Treat an answer as recollection unless she says a step is from a written recipe she still uses. That distinction stays on the record. 1. What did you call the filling, and who cooked it with you? 2. Which ingredients do you remember, and which amounts are you sure of? 3. Was the pork a fixed weight, or did it change with the guests? 4. Did you add chives, garlic, or both, and was that your change? 5. Is the fold something you saw, or something written down? 6. Which year and city should be attached, if you want that recorded? 7. May interviewer Jin label uncertain steps "Sook's recollection, not a tested recipe"? 8. Who else should be named if they stood at the same table? Attribution stays with Auntie Sook for what she describes. A remembered step is not written here as a confirmed instruction unless she says it comes from a written recipe she still uses.
