Silken Steamed Egg With Tofu Gravy

Yesterday was suppose to be mum's off day where I does all the cooking for our family. As i need to work yesterday, mum had no choice but to settle dinner menu on her own. She's fretting and when i came to know bout it, at a snap of fingers, I came up with a few menu and told her the cooking method and procedure. Mum didn't say anything and laugh. I ask her what's wrong? She told me that she's not so hardworking and prefer to cook something simple.
