As long as my Dad is here, all our eats will be mainly
chinese dishes. So apologies who doesn't like
chinese food. However, what you guys see in this blog about
chinese food is very different from dishes that you find in
chinese restaurants. I think most of
chinese food that is popular in US is greasy and unhealthy, totally different from my food style. What I want to show you is that
chinese food can be healthy and delicious at the same time.
Okay, breakfast.... no
chinese...because I can't live without oatmeal.
hahaha..... So, today's combo was
- pre-made steel cuts
- one poached egg
- tomatoes sauce
- parmesean cheese
- flaxseed meal
- dry basil

And for me additional 1/4 cottage cheese

I think my Dad liked this more than sweet
oatmeal.

I was planning to go out with my Dad to continue with the city tour.... but just before we were leaving I received an email from the professor who I'm
writ ting a paper with and had to do something urgent. So, sorry to Dad, we had to stay at home. But my Dad didn't complain at all, if not, he was happy for my progress in my career. I think that is what parents love, the most generous love is about.
To compensate him, I prepared I delicious lunch. Baked salmon with onion, marinated first with cooking wine, soy sauce, fresh and powder ginger and 1 tsp of sugar. That's the perfect baked salmon, it never fails.

We also had sauteed
chinese greens with a lot of garlic and a
miso soup with seaweed and tofu.



Rice as usual.
As dessert I had 1/2 chocolate almond breeze, some
Tj's greek yogurt and 1/4 cup of wheat berries.

This afternoon I went to a spinning class while Dad watched a movie. I needed that workout after a day of studying. I had an apple and a cup of chocolate almond breeze before the workout.
Dinner time..... more sauteed greens

stir-fry soy bean sprouts with hydrated
shitake
smoked tofu in form of
spaghetti sauteed with
shitake, dry shrimps and black duck egg.

Dad had rice and I had
kabocha with oat bran. It makes a huge bowl!!!!!! I almost couldn't finish it, but as it's so yummy it wasn't so hard to finish it.

It makes

Daddy can't wait until I take pics to begin to eat! Because they're so delicious~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dessert was simply
Fage 2% with ton of cinnamon.
Fage 2% is my favorite until now. I haven't tried
Chobani yet since we don't have it in Maryland, but I'd like to try other
Greek yogurts. Do you guys know any other brand of
Greek yogurt?

I'm loving the traditional Chinese food posts!
Hooray for REAL Chinese food!! :0)
I love Chinese food. Hopefully I will be able to try the authentic version some day!
I love seeing your authentic Chinese food. You're right, the American-ized version is gross. Yours looks SO much better. :)
Yummy! I always find it weird that chinese food gets such bad press in the western world for being bad. If that's the case, most of the chinese folks would be obese and we know that that is not true.
Granted that it's not healthy eating out at chinese restaurants but it's the home style chinese cooking that is so much better.
great for REAL chinese food!!! make me some?
MMM oats + eggs <3 and that kabocha + oat bran looks sooo yummie!!! YAY for real chinese food :] HEHE...
