I keep thinking I should plate these delivery dinners and make them more attractive, but then I'd just create cleaning tasks which I'm not really up to, so I just eat them (in bed) from the delivery cartons.
Tonight, was 鲜香菇烧肉排 (xiān xiāng gū shāo ròu pái), fresh shiitake pork ribs. In Chinese menus, the first named ingredient predominates, so this has more mushrooms than ribs. It is possible for essentially the same dish to be on a menu twice (at two different prices). "Bitter Melon with Beef" and "Beef with Bitter Melon" both appear on the menu in one of my favourite spots.
The ribs were the smallest I've seen and as is customary with most rib dishes in China, had been chopped to bite sized, chopstick friendly pieces. They were buried among the shiitake. It was a tasty meal, accompanied by smacked cucumber and, as ever, rice.
