Usually on normal days I will stew, braise or stir-fry lean pork for my husband and children. Once in a while I will make char siew or roasted pork for them. Sometimes I make a Western meal to give them a change by pan-frying the pork and making a sauce to pour over it. Usually, it will be accompanied by roasted vegetable, mashed potato, soup and homemade baguette. A wholesome meal I think for the family.
