My wife is making Thịt kho this afternoon (Vietnamese braised pork and eggs). I think the plan is to get together with some of my sisters in law who will bring other Vietnamese dishes they are making.
I so miss Chinese New Year at Sun Wah ….used to always have a table for 10, brought tons of favorite wines and we would have such fun with Kelly and her family.
Quite a late post; but, anyway…since we can’t make Chinese dishes well at home, I ordered our CNY dinner from the nearby branch of a pretty decent Taiwanese chain (Shi Lin) - well, except for the steamed slipper lobster course.
Xiao long bao
Siu Mai (Steamed pork & shrimp dumplings)
Char siu bao (steamed pork buns)
Taiwanese tofu
Minced pork with string beans
Steamed slipper lobsters (this was homemade)
Sweet & sour pork (because the wife & kids like this dish - I don’t favour it myself)
