well technically its my family, but may pretty much is like family at the Li house. I dont really know why but we decided to cook dinner for the family and it was definately a conscious decision to make it a chinese dinner, since that's my mom's preference, always. she's a lot pickier when it comes to western food, so i'd rather not take a chance.
so we decided to make things we know we can make. no risks, no gambles. if you have a chance to cook in momma Li's kitchen, you cannot take any chances. haha. here we've started to marinate the chicken wings with chopped garlic, green onion, ginger, soya sauce and honey. Following the short marinade, we coat with panko flakes to soak up the flavours and crisp up in the oven.
may is cutting the long string green beans to make her signature dish. pan fried together with ground pork and chili bean sauce, this is a classic dish and hands down, her favourite to make and to eat.
in addition to those two dishes, we had other dishes too of course 1) a crispy shrimp dish with bits of garlic, chili, green onion. 2) a spicy mushroom tofu stirfry 3) classic stewed tomato with scrambled egg.
here's the string bean and pork dish up close
and here's the crispy chicken wings
and arguably the best part, may made some awesome cookies. we've actually made them again this weekend too.. they are sooooo gooooood. recipe here
