She made a steamed fish (tilapia), bok choy, steamed chinese sausage, half a steamed chicken, and soup. It was really quite a spread for only the three of us!
I often enjoy watching my grandma cook during various family gatherings, but it's rare to have one-on-one time with her in the kitchen. She offered to teach me how to make her steamed fish, so I took notes on that dish as well as her bok choy.
For these recipes, she used two fillets of tilapia, and about 2 lbs of baby bok choy.

I'm so grateful for the time that I'm able to spend with my Grandma. I especially love when we are able to have our one-on-one visits. I learn so much from her.
Thank you Grandma! I love you!
