stir-fried tau-kua with pork

In one of my previous entry, Joan was asking for tofu recipe. I didn't make any tofu today but it is "tao kua", which I guess one type of tofu too. This morning started hot and humid. Although we have this blackout curtain the heat still penetrate through, maybe because our home is facing the morning sun and is high rise up without any blockage from building or tree. Anyway, after a while it began to pour. Not too heavy but just enough to keep my mouth shut for the day.

I dragged myself into the kitchen and checked what I have in the refrigerator to cook for today. I still have the old cucumber which mom gave me 2 weeks ago but there is no pork rib! I settled with chicken for the cooling soup tonight. Everything with wolfberries went into the crockpot for dinner. Now, what for lunch? I will just go with something simple as my food storage is almost to empty. There is this "tau kua" I purchased from Sunshine last week. I need to go to market to restock.


Fun starts here..
