Friday I made Martin Yan's (of Yan Can Cook) Pork and Tofu Pillows. They are basically like pork and tofu meatballs, except a lot softer in texture and they're cooked in a delicious sauce. Pretty easy to make and a nice change from regular stir fry.
I served that with his Simply Gai Lan from his cookbook Quick & Easy by Martin Yan. That recipe is Chinese broccoli (although I just used regular broccoli) blanched and then sauteed with some sherry, ginger and soy sauce. The flavor was good, but it was pretty much overpowered by the Pork and Tofu Pillows sauce.
Ben and I liked the dinner a lot, but Tommy didn't really care for it. Oh well, he tried a bite. The next day I took the leftover rice, broccoli and sauce and made it into fried rice for Ben and I with the pork and tofu pillows on top. That was almost better than the original dinner. But since rice was a major part, Tommy didn't get to try that version.
