This is my quick and easy version of char siu, “home edition!”  This won’t be like your typical roasted pork from the Chinese supermarkets – but more of a pork “simmer.”  It does however have the same great char siu taste!  It also tastes healthier, less fatty, and it doesn’t take a long time to make – woohoo to a fast, yummy dinner.

It didn’t feel right having my last post as a “failed attempt,” so I figured I would go ahead and post something else I made recently.  I finally decide to cross into some dangerous lands – by making a dish that people would have no qualms ordering at a restaurant (Thai?) but couldn’t possibly imagine making in their own kitchen.  Well guess what?  Start making!  Because I just brought a little Thai flavor into my own kitchen and enjoyed quite a nice meal. :)

Yes, another new category! :) This is a typical Vietnamese dish that will now be added to “Mommy Made”. It does contain a few strange ingredients but it’s worth buying since they are inexpensive and you can use them for other recipes (don’t worry, more will be added here ;) . Don’t forget to make some white rice to eat this with!
