Just steam them

Sometimes I really got to hurry in preparing for my lunch as I had to go work earlier than usual. So I just steamed all the ingredients. 

A very easy way of cooking..

chicken, soya sauce, black sauce, sesame oil, garlic
and bitter gourd

 10 minutes later, added in tomatoes

 5 minutes later, the tomatoes had soften

 threw in some wolfberries (kei chee)

my plate of lunch

simple yet nutritious

    Yes it is very healthy to eat steam food like that. Quite a good size portion for one person's meal. Did you put any seasoning into the dish? I assume you sprinkled some salt. Did you put any soy sauce or oyster sauce or sesame oil in it?

    Have a nice day Wenn.

    Steaming food is a lot healthier and cuts out all the cleaning up afterwards. My fav way of preparing food.

    Wenn, but I was wondering what's the rationale of putting in the ingredients one after another? I'd normally put in everything all at once so that the various juices can blend in together. Also, by not opening the wok cover so many times will make a shorter cooking time. Please share your reasoning. Maybe something new we can pick up here? Thanks.

    The dish looks delicious, no doubt.

      well, tomatoes are best eaten if slightly cooked. You can feel the taste.

      The kei chee can be eaten raw as it has sweetness in it. If it's too cooked, it doesn't taste good anymore.

      Maybe you can try the recipe all in one and see the difference..

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
