you ought to love chinese cooking. somehow dishing out 3 plates of food to have with rice is just so much easier and quicker than western cooking. perhaps its the type of chinese food that i cook. perhaps...

back to basics chinese cooking :)


-Steamed egg white with crab meat + zucchini-

Steamed egg has always been one of my fav chinese dishes. i remember my grandma used to make it, it was so good that me, sis and the cousins had to first draw lines on the smooth egg custard to define our own territories so that we cant attack the neighbouring portions. i have some egg whites in the fridge *left from some unsuccessful cake baking* so i've decided to steam egg white instead. once the white is steamed, i pour on top of the custard a layer of thick savoury syrup with crab meat and zucchini dices.

super smooth egg white custard - yum yum~ not bad for my first attempt!



now, when i say simple stir fry veg, i mean SIMPLE - with garlic and a few drops of sesame oil in the end - but it was delicious thanks to the sweet zucchini~!


-Stir fry zucchini rings-

third dish:


-Baked pork ribs with fermented tofu + maple syrup-

hubby thought the first bite tasted a bit funny... i must say, the fermented tofu + honey combo worked so much better with chicken wings!! these little porkies somehow arent friends with the combo... and using maple syrup as opposed to honey actually made it worse.... its acceptable, but i kept thinking chicken wings...
