just so happens to be my new favorite cookbook.
For the past two years of my marriage I have learned two things. 1. my husbands love language: food. 2. His sub-love language: chinese food.
Every now and then I like a good Asian dish but it's not typically my go-to food. I try and keep our monthly menu pretty versatile but let's be honest, I've never come close to choosing to add Chinese food to the list :) One afternoon while diddling around in World Market with Billy we came across this little (literally...it's about the size of a post card) Chinese cookbook...hence the title of this post, "Everyday Chinese." At first I was a little skeptical and expecting a not-so-great attempt at this Chinese dish. But boy was I wrong! Our first dish we tried was chicken stir fry with rice & veggies. It was DE-LISH. Again, thinking maybe it was a fluke we tried another dish this weekend and I was blown away at the yumminess and authenticity found in our giant wok of food! This time we tried beef & broccoli with soba noodles...mm so good.
So if you like Chinese cuisine and have a chance to go pick up a good book, I highly recommend this $4.99 find at World Market.

Umm, yeah, so I should definitely be cooking more Chinese and Asian food since we're in Hong Kong, but like you it's just not my go-to thing.
ReplyDeleteBut, I really don't want to have lived here and not picked up some yummy recipes along the way.
Thanks for the challenge to try new things myself! :)
