It's so good that I'd rather not eat anything else

I just finished dinner. My wife did it again. She channeled Julia Child and made something so amazing that I just didn't want to eat anything else. It was so good that I was in no mood to share any of it with anyone. It was so good that I just wanted to be left alone while I was eating it. It was so good that when my wife asked me to try another dish she made I just ignored her. It was so good that when my wife told me she thought another dish was better and I considered putting her in the doghouse that she usually puts me in. It was so good that I had to blog about it.

She made African Tilapia Soup. I so love my wife when she does stuff like this...

Alright folks enough of the sales pitch. Pay attention. Here's the important part. The recipe. Hey Mom and Dad this recipe is for you guys in particular because I know you will definitely enjoy and it's particularly appropriate for this cold weather we are currently have.
  1. Pan sear 1 live and fresh African Tilapia (Fei Zhou Ce Yu) on both sides until it's golden.
  2. Put the Tilapia in a cooking pot
  3. Add enough hot water so that the entire Tilapia is completely submerged
  4. Add 5 cloves of garlic
  5. Add 3 slices of ginger
  6. Boil it for 5 minutes
  7. Add one rice bowl worth of chinese sauerkraut or pickled cabbage (suan cai)
  8. Add one rice bowl worth of wood ear (mu er)
  9. Boil for 20 more minutes
  10. Add a few pinch of salt
That's it. It's ready to be eaten.

Bon Appetit!
