Sliced Pork and Squid with Chinese Broccoli

Since I started cooking more than one year ago, but I have not cook pork so far. Hubby is a big fan of pork but I'm not. I felt that he's deprived of pork lately, so I decided to cook a "porky" dish for him.

This was a simple dish, but the cutting and slicing took up most of the time.

Another dish that I prepared was squid with chinese broccoli. The sauce supposed to look orangey, but I accidentally added in too much dark soy sauce, hence the following colour. It tasted ok, but I think it would look better with an orange coloured sauce.
