Snow peas , mushroom and pork stir-fry


I thrive on simple , easy , nutritious and affordable dish ....

Especially the last part ....

But then who wouldn't ? In this day and age ?

Everything is so expensive that when I see a sign - this way to the mall - I go the other way so as not to be tempted with everything that I want but don't really need  lol

I'm sure you've seen my previous post . That cost me a dollar only , the cheapest , I bet in food blogging ....

Who says food blogging is expensive ?! I beg to disagree ! I bet some of you also lurk at some beauty blogs . I'm sure you've seen  that a mere bottle of nail polish retails for more than HK $ 100. ?!!! Don't forget the price of lipstick , eye shadow , eye liner , foundation , moisturizer...... To think you can't eat those . But then you can use those war paint over and over again , that is , until the new season dictates a new trend , then you want to buy something new , again . At least you won't a problem gaining weight while putting on your make up ^___^

Don't worry , moderation is the key . As long as you won't stuff yourself silly with everything that is deliciously awesome but unhealthy food , you're safe .

Yeah , keep telling that to your self , Anne lol

  1. Hi Anne,
    A lovely dish! I love all the ingredients! I'm one of those who do not use any make-up and who does not like shopping UNLESS it is for my kitchen and cooking books for my bookshelf!! Which do not come cheap either! LOL!
    Thank you for linking this lovely dish to LTU!

  3. Hi Anne, very healthy dish. No need rice, just eat on it own also nice. I love the snow peas. :)

    Makeup nowadays is definitely very expensive and not forgetting our skincare products! Imagine the face itself at least need 6 to 7 bottles of skincare from cleansing to anti wrinkle cream. Make up another 7 to 8 types of the face. LOL
    If use calculator to count, smoke might come out. So I think food blogging still cheaper and can fill our stomach too. :))

    Have a nice day.

  4. Yep, it cannot be expensive food because the simple ones contains great flavors too. This is similar to our Chinese style of cooking and its also one of my fav, just that I don't cook pork at home. That said, am sure chicken will be great too.

  10. The cost of living is increasing at fast pace everywhere and what we need is nutritious and affordable dishes. This looks like a wonderful dish and I checked your steamed egg, too. I sometime microwave eggs but never tried steaming it in wok. Great idea.

  12. You are right Anne, eating out is so horrendously expensive these days...even if its just simple foods. Way better to cook at home , even the simplest food. This dish is so homey and comforting. Going onto my homey dish list :)
