Had a just OK, not great Chow Mei Fun for lunch at the Chinese New Year Performance in Hackensack New Jersey. I can't wait to have a better version to renew the okay experience. Back home, Mikey didn't eat lunch. He has been study 55 the whole time. Dinner tonight is Chow Mei Fun, Matzo ball soup and vegetables.Chow Mei Fun:
1 pack of mei fun. (soak in the water about 30 minutes, break into short pieces)
1 carrot (cut thin stripes)
1 onion (cut thin stripes)
4 scallion (cut thin stripes)
2 sticks of celery (cut thin stripes)
Chinese chive (cut thin stripes)
chicken breast
wild jumbo white shrimp
2 eggs
ginger powder, garlic powder, dry tarragon, mild curry, dry red pepper. black bean sauce, hoisin sauce, black pepper and sea salt.
Matzo Ball Soup:
Ball- I trust the direction on my Matzo Ball Mix box. I substituted vegetable oil to water, because Mikey doesn't like fat. I added garlic powder and dry tarragon into my mixer, a piece of wild jumbo white shrimp in the center as a surprise for today.
Soup- Chicken broth with 3 carrots, white pepper
Vegetable: (simply is the best!)
Broccoli and sweet yellow pepper. Nothing fancy, cook with water, sea salt and pepper.
On the Table:
"Why do juice people never stuff things in a jumbo matzo ball?" I asked Mikey.
He said something really funny. But we can't remember now. Life goes on... do not get stress from the little thing like this. I was laugh hard.
