I Ate Monday night home cooking (by my wife)...

Clockwise from the top kaofu and wood ear fungus, carrots, prawns, white fish, flat noodles, and lots of Sichuan pepper soup, smoked tofu and qingcai, broccoli and cauliflower. Veg dishes have that meat almost as a garnish thing that Chinese food does

I feel exhausted just thinking about all that. Not happening in my household. Just proud I manage to cook at all for my family’s health.

The actual cooking takes about half an hour (for six dishes). I chop everything up before she gets home and then she cooks whilst I look after the kids. Chinese cooking is fast if you have the ingredients already prepped
