Steaming Two Dishes

Today, after my new friend and her 5 month old baby went home, I took advantage of my pot that has a steamer on top. I steamed broccoli on top and then steamed a common Cantonese dish that has salted duck egg, chicken eggs, marinated minced pork with green onions, on the bottom steamer.  I put the timer on for five minutes. Once it boils, I loosen the lid so steam is released. Then, I continue to steam with the loose lid. That is the trick to get the egg smooth and soft. I will show the results in a bit.

Pork Tenderloin and Broccoli

I started with frying up minced garlic and ginger over medium high heat in oil. Then, I throw in the broccoli and half a cup of water. Next, I turn the heat up to boil the mixture for a few minutes with a lid covering everything until the broccoli is soft.
