So whenever I cook I have to keep a few things in mind. How tired am I? Is my bf eating with me? If he is this seperate or together?

So my bf isn't Asian, I am. We do not always eat the same things. He loves meat; chicken, beef, some fish. I don't. I love rice; steamed rice, rice noodle, rice dumplings. He does not eat rice every day, or any rice product?

Anyway. I made crispy pork belly, he associates most pork or the smell of it to human flesh. He's seen to many movies. Anyway, today I made two different meals. Almost.

Two rice bowls. One with broccoli and and seared chicken in an easy marinade. Then crispy pork belly with bok choy.

The rice cooked, while the chicken marinated, veggies werw cleaned, pork belly was baked. The veggies steamed while the chicken was seared.

Everything was done relatively around the same time. The pork belly had a head start. Two different styles of eating, two different preferences. All done at the same time.

Tonight I made two noodle dishes. Sausage ho fun and sausage chow mian. My bf has a preference for these fresh knife cut noodles. Grocery store auntie saved me some of this new brand of fresh he fen they had so I wanted to try them. My bf asked for something with lap cheong for dinner so I went with noodle.

My aunt also has this country accent and calls it "how fun." So any excuse for a stupid pun. "How fun for dinner how fun s that?" Than my bf drew out a sigh and told me to get out.

Which would you prefer? Knife cut noodle or he fen?

This is my favorite noodle dish 炸酱面 or Zhajiang mian.

Has anyone had this before? If you have did you like it?
