Five Spice Peanuts【微波炉版五香花生米】

这款花生是几年前到一位姐姐家做客时吃到的，非常美味。当时就和姐姐要来了做法，后来也在微信群里分享过，好多朋友都喜欢。

这个花生我们家经常做，却每次都忘了拍照记录。今天又做了一批，趁光线还不错，拍几张成品照，写个食谱。食谱是我后来量化记录的，做法简单，每次都成功好吃。

I had this peanut the first time at a friend's place and loved it very much, my friend was kind enough to share her recipe with me, and the recipe has been made multiple times at home.

I had since finalized a version of a recipe that I liked and easy to replicate. The result is always good and very consistent.

Loofah in Pumpkin Sauce 【南瓜烩丝瓜】

秋季是南瓜和丝瓜的丰收季节，也正是南瓜和丝瓜最营养好吃的时候。不久前和朋友约饭时点的菜里有一道南瓜烩丝瓜，非常清甜美味。我就一直想着在家试做一次。

昨天妈妈的好友Lisa阿姨送来几根她种的丝瓜，非常肥嫩，刚好家里也收成了我自己种的南瓜，就都拿来做了这个南瓜烩丝瓜，真的非常营养又美味呢！

Fall is harvest time for pumpkin and loofah, it is also the most nutritious time for these two vegetables. I had this Loofah in Pumpkin Sauce during one of the gatherings with friends not long ago and really liked it.

My aunt Lisa sent me a few loofahs from her garden, with the pumpkin I harvest from my front yard, I made this Loofah pumpkin dish at home and it turned out really really nice!

Thai Pumpkin Dessert 【泰式南瓜甜汤】

家里的南瓜结果了，非常地香甜美味。摘一只做我最喜欢的这款泰式南瓜甜汤，也分了点给邻居，他们都好喜欢。

注：如果南瓜是自己种的有机南瓜，可以用丝瓜布把南瓜皮刷洗干净后连皮一起切块煮，南瓜皮更营养哦！

I harvested the pumpkin at my front yard, it is very sweet and tasty, thus a good candidate for this Thai pumpkin dessert. I sent some to my neighbors and they loved it too!

Note: I cooked with the skin on as my pumpkin is homegrown, if you buy yours from the shop, you can remove the pumpkin skin.

Steamed Pork Belly with Yam 【芋头扣肉】

今年春节期间我做了好些菜过节，但是因为后来工作开始忙碌，也就没时间一一地把食谱整理出来。趁这些天有点时间，把食谱都写好，以后也可以再做。

芋头扣肉是我家乡非常受欢迎的一道年菜，寓意“年年有余”，也非常好吃。

I made a few dishes that I really liked during the Chinese new year period this year, but had little time to work on the recipe and pictures. Since this month is a little more relax work wise, I finally find time to write the recipe.

Steamed pork belly with yam is a very traditional and loved dish for Chinese New Year, this version turned out good and it actually tasted better the day after!

Deep Fried Pumpkin Blossoms【酥炸南瓜花】

We went back to Malaysia for 2 months for the summer holiday thus I was not able to plant much in my backyard this summer. 

But the compost at my front yard that consists of my homegrown pumpkin peels and seeds last fall has turned into a big plant when I return from Asia. Since it has blossoms galore, I am so happy that I can still enjoy some harvest this year even though I had not planted anything this!

今年暑假我带俊宝回了娘家一趟，所以今年后院就处于休耕状态了。前院有冬天埋下的南瓜种子发的苗，在我回乡的两个月里长成一大丛的南瓜藤，放完假回来就已经开花结果了。

周末有空收拾了下院子，顺便摘几朵南瓜花炸了吃，家里人都很喜欢哦！

Vegetarian Egg Dumplings 【素食蛋饺】

I made this dumpling dish for my son's Chinese school New Year celebration, the parents and teachers loved it and was praising the taste and appearance of it a lot! Worth the effort of spending the whole morning making the dumplings !

Note: I have scaled the recipe down to 3-4 servings which is more suitable for a family, the pictures taken was for a much larger servings.

这个素食蛋饺是今年春节期间做了带去慈济中文学校庆春节的。单是蛋饺就弄了一个上午，幸好结果非常受大家欢迎，说吃不够呢！

注：因为带去聚餐做的量比较大，食谱我写了比较合用于一般家庭的量，方便大家一起试做，所以材料和照片里显示的材料量会不一样。

Kimchee Fried Rice 【韩国泡菜炒饭】

Kimchee Fried Rice is one of my favorite way to use left over rice, a quick delicious fix for dinner.

平时家里的剩饭我喜欢拿来做这款韩国泡菜炒饭，酸酸辣辣的非常开胃，家人也都很喜欢呢！

Adzuki Bean Glutinous Rice Dumplings 【红豆肉粽】

It was dragon boat festival again last week , I was not having any plan to make any dumplings initially until the day of dragon boat festival, since I was not working that day, I decided to make this version of Bak Zhang adding Adzuki beans to the rice.

It came out so delicious and I couldn't stopped at just one!

今年的端午节本来我没打算要裹粽子的，后来端午那天刚好不上班，就做了几只红豆肉粽吃，权当过节了。

谁知这款红豆肉粽真的很让人惊喜，糯米里有着红豆的香气，非常的好吃。明年绝对还要做这款！
