Fried and Steamed Mantou with Condensed Milk

Another dish that I miss from my time in China, probably not the healthiest dessert one can have but it is pretty good.

Creamy Spinach and Chickpeas

I had been thinking of something that i could quickly whip up and strangely I watched a youtube video with bon appetit staff cooking their go to under 15 minute meals, some were things I normally cooked like fried rice or fried noodles but then i saw this recipe and had most of the ingredients at home so decided to give it a try.
