Mimiboo and I sharing a glass of sparkling cider in my new favorite room to hang out in.
I put together a whole seafood hotpot in under 15 minutes! I used chicken stock, chili oil, sesame oil as the broth base. There are crab sticks, fish balls, shrimp balls, squid pieces, fish cake, bean curd and tofu skin wraps. High protein and low calories!
I made mango curry from scratch last night! Ingredients included:
-coconut milk
-canned mango with nectar
-paprika, black pepper, chili powder, basil, salt, brown sugar
-Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, chili oil, red pepper flakes
-carrots, onions, sweet potato, button mushrooms, golden mushrooms
-basmati rice
We went to this place called Thai Foon and I ordered yuntun mein! The broth could have used more flavor and the egg noodles are the wrong kind but this was still pretty dang good. 8 whole wontons were included! Plenty of qing cai (bakchoy)! I even had some leftovers! Winner!
This is how my husband and I celebrated Chinese New Year…without Chinese food at a Chinese restaurant, lol. I originally ordered dan dan mein but this restaurant did not make this :(. Then I tried ordering Cantonese noodles right off their menu and the waiter had to apologetically explain they don’t carry those noodles either. Ugh, just give me some beef Pad Thai then. Hubby got the deluxe sushi and sashimi entree that costs a small fortune. We also splurged and got steamed pork dumplings with chili oil. Mmmm…
