Simple Homecooked Food

Whenever my mil wants to clear off all the perishables in our 2 huge refrigerators, we will have like 5-6 dishes for dinner.

We had 6 dishes and 1 soup of the day for dinner several nights ago:

Clockwise : pork ribs from the pot of watercrest soup (to dip with premium soy sauce), braised duck with ginger, tau cheong and spring onions (she actually bought the duck b4 CNY but did not have the chance to cook it during CNY), braised fish dish (left over from the previous day’s lunch at Restoran Wai Kei), stir-fried lotus root with lean pork, steamed organic Japanese pumpkin and braised tofu with minced pork and tau cheong.

Here’s the macro shot of the braised duck with ginger, spring onions and fermented bean paste:

Out of the 6 dishes, my 3 fussy eaters only attacked the lotus root (Baby inclusive) and the soft pork ribs from the soup. They hate pumpkin 🙁  I don’t really fancy duck, so my mil polished off the entire duck herself and ate it for several days. I polished off the fish dish, pumpkin and tofu.  What a very ‘brown meal’, so devoid of green leafy veggie hor?  These days, I prefer to stuff myself with veggie and fish and have been staving off red meat.
