broccoli & mixed mushrooms in black bean sauce

This is what we planned to have last night; 8 minutes in a hot wok - bish bash bosh and everyone's a winner. Although we didn't plan on the extra sous chef in the kitchen:


I cheated slightly by using a ready-made garlic black bean sauce (who has access to fermented black beans?), and rather than small broccoli florets I chopped up a head of broccoli, neither of which were totally successful. I also only had shiitake mushrooms, but I imagine the inclusion of the oyster mushrooms - or even chestnut - would've given it a bit more variety for the broccoli-phobic A-Bar. All in all, it's probably a 2.5 out of 5 for Ching-He Huang.



Food of the Milos
God, he loved the cep & potato stew. I'll have to do double quantities next time. Breakfast was a bit of porridge, some shreddies and a bite of toast and marmelade, and a sausage roll and half an iced bun from the bakery for lunch. Oh and a gazillion snacks including an apple, some pomegranate, animal biscuits and some tea.
