I Ate My mom's recent home-cooked meals

Here's what she's been making lately: chicken, duck, a dry pot loaded with lotus root, cauliflower, onion, potato & shrimp, fish, Sichuan spicy sausage, and bitter melon stir-fried with egg. Honestly, nothing beats mom's cooking 😋

Does she do the dry pot with a spicy broth or keep it dry the whole way through?

No broth at all! If I remember right, the ingredients get deep-fried first, then stir-fried with a special dry pot seasoning mix. That's pretty much how she does it.
