Dinner on A Thursday Night

Ate dinner with a friend today, some salty but delicious dishes :)
I made the wings; Vickie made congee, soup and rice.

The meal was filled with fun conversations and laughter.

Wings are a bit salty, but good taste

Creative pork rib soup with tofu skin and some dried Chinese Vegetables

A Thousand Year Old Egg Congee, yum :P

Overdue Pics: Cilantro Fish Rice Ball Soup

Cilantro fish rice balls

Ingredients for the dish: cilantro, green scallion, marinated boneless fish, dried shrimps, dried mushrooms, fish cakes, Chinese cabbage, radish, pork broth and rice balls

This is what Mom cooked for the Winter Holiday. It's called the "End of Winter", Dong Zi. The rice ball soup is delicious. She cooked the broth with pork, dried shrimps, dried mushroom, radish and Chinese cabbage. After the soup is done, about 45 minutes to an hour; she scoop the soup into a separate pot. Whatever amount of rice balls, fish cakes or fish we like, just add into the soup, let it cook for about 5 to 10 minutes. Add in cilantro and scallion to garnish the dish.

Beer Batter Fish and Bell Pepper Pasta

My dinner tonight was beer batter fish and pasta. The fish was delicious, bake it for 10 to 15 minutes.
It's frozen fish filet, prepackaged, but still really good. I forgot the brand name. If you search for "beer batter fish" online, I am sure plenty of nice recipes will show up. It's not hard to make either.

Bacon Spinach Pasta Salad

Ingredients: bacon, spinach, bell pepper, Italian dressing and pasta noodle

Cooked this dish by accident. I was planning to cook pasta with bacon and tomato sauce, but I couldn't open the  jar. After trying to open that of  can of tomato sauce several times, I decided to switch sauce. I splatter the dish with Italian dressings and mixed all the ingredients.  It turned out quite well. The dressing made the bacon tangy and not too greasy. The dish also has spinach and cooked bell pepper, lots of fibers.
