A meal fit for...Part 2

The steamed chicken we had for lunch is my hubby's favorite. Hmmm...actually everything on the menu was his favorite, but this one is his best favorite (yes I know, there isn't a best favorite...)

To make the steamed chicken you simply boil it until it is cooked. (You can steam it, but it takes longer, and you lose the chicken broth that you can make into soup!) Let cool and chop.

For the sauce:

Chop the spring onions and ginger and pour hot oil to cook it.

A meal fit for a birthday girl

I spent Christmas at my mother-in-law's. We talked about what she would be making and I couldn't wait to see her in the kitchen. My mother-in-law makes great food. As my husband puts it..."no one else can cook like her".

She made a feast. It was a great Christmas dinner sans the turkey and potatoes. We opted for a more chinese meal. She made our favorite, pork belly with ginger and soy sauce. She also made fish, prawns and peh tsam kweh (Steamed chicken with ginger and spring onions). I stayed to watch as she was preparing lunch. It is always a treat to watch other people cook.

We had a great christmas lunch on my birthday. It was perfect.
