Cooked up quite a feast today—four dishes and a soup 🥣

1️⃣ Honey-glazed chicken wings with scallions 🍗
2️⃣ Steamed tofu with dried shrimp and chili 🌶️
3️⃣ Minced pork omelet
4️⃣ Stir-fried cabbage with shrimp 🦐
5️⃣ Lotus root and kudzu root soup 🥣

  1. Honey-Glazed Chicken Wings with Scallions
    **Method**: Score and marinate the chicken wings; pan-fry until both sides are golden brown; add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and minced garlic, then simmer; finally, drizzle with honey, reduce the sauce over high heat, and garnish with chopped scallions.
  2. Steamed Tofu with Dried Shrimp and Chili
    **Method**: Cut the tofu into pieces; soak, chop, and stir-fry the dried shrimp with chili, seasoning with soy sauce and sugar; spread the mixture evenly over the tofu; steam on high heat for 6-8 minutes, then top with chopped scallions and hot oil.
  3. Minced Pork Omelet
    **Method**: Season and stir-fry the minced pork until cooked through, then set aside; beat the eggs, pour into a hot pan, and scatter the cooked minced pork over the egg mixture; pan-fry on low heat until both sides are golden and cooked through.
  4. Stir-Fried Cabbage with Shrimp
    **Method**: Marinate and stir-fry the shrimp until cooked, then remove; using the remaining oil, stir-fry shredded carrots and cabbage until softened; return the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and soy sauce, and toss well.
  5. Lotus Root and Kudzu Root Soup
    **Method**: Blanch the pork bones; peel and cut the lotus root and kudzu root into chunks; combine all ingredients with water in a pot, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, and season with salt before serving
