When My Hubby Cooks for Me (Part III)

Delicious!

This time Jiahui made his signature beef and celery stir-fry, but also got adventurous with some new dishes, including the chicken wings and the shrimp dish. Once again, just one man and one wok, ladies and gentlemen!



The chicken wings were a tad on the dry side and the chilly flakes he coated them with were a little on the burnt side... I think next time we should experiment coating them with something more saucy/wet, so they retain a bit more moisture as they cook. Any thoughts?



The shrimp were delicious, but a bit overcooked for my taste. They were first marinated in some wine, garlic, chives, salt, pepper, and ginger, and then stir fried with a peeled tomato to give them this tomato sauce feel. It was a great dish, and really easy to make!



Note how Chinese people always leave on the stems and roots when they cook spinach. It used to weird me out a little, but then I grew used to them and am convinced they add to the nutritional content! This is a simple stir-fry I have explained before, with garlic and just a bit of oil. The spinach is covered and basically steams in its own liquids.
