About


Char Choy pork is a more common everyday Chinese dish in most Chinese homes.   You will seldom see this dish in the menu of a big Chinese Restaurant.  However it is a common dish in small neighborhood coffee shop style food store.  However, the following recipe is not the common char choy pork but steam chicken breast meat with char choy which my Mum prepared our dinner last night.  It was so good so this deserved to be shared.
