Sambal Tempeh Petai (Stinking Bean) 【叁巴丹贝臭豆】

Ever since I received the tempeh starter sent by a friend. I have been making tempeh at home. It is a good source of protein and is one of my favorite cooking ingredients back home. （You could now find tempeh at trader Joe's and wholefood, a good substitute to meat/fish!）

As my tempeh was growing at home, I saw frozen Petai/Stinking bean at the local Asian supermarket, it has been  a long time since I have petai, I just couldn't resist bringing a packet home.

This Sambal tempeh petai is a very healthy and really satisfying dish!

自从朋友给我寄来丹贝黴菌之后我就经常在家自己做丹贝。丹贝是个非常好的植物蛋白质来源。刚好前几天在Hmart看见有泰国进口的臭豆（美丽球花豆/Petai/Power bean），是东南亚很特殊的一种食材。

臭豆之所以称为臭豆是因为它有一种特殊的气味，一般人可能不太容易习惯。但是臭豆的功效也是非常多的，还有降血糖的功效。今天做的这个丹贝臭豆叁巴，是东南亚很家常的一个素食食谱，下饭好吃。

【奶香炖杂豆】Dal Makhni （Creamy Lentil Stew）

这道奶香炖杂豆是慢火炖出来的豆子汤，有浓郁的奶油香味，是吃过了不会忘记的一个滋味。

This creamy lentil stew is one of the best lentil stew I have ever had.. It is a good dish for party and get together. Though the preparation is time consuming, it is definitely worth the effort as it is the kind of dish that once one had it will never forget the taste.

Korean Style Pork Bone Potato Stew (Gamjatang) 【韩式土豆骨头汤】

I have always ordered this stew whenever I visited a Korean restaurant and have been thinking of of making it once at home.

I bought a box of neck bone from Korean supermarket last weekend, together with zucchini and potatoes from my garden, I made this super yummy stew for dinner!

I love the fact that it has got everything, from soup to protein to vegetables in one pot... good dish to dine alone!

周末到韩国超市买菜的时候买了一大盒子的汤骨头，为的就是做这个韩式骨头汤，很喜欢用它来泡饭，浓浓的肉骨香味，和很多的蔬菜一起吃，是一个人吃饭的时候很适合做的一道菜。

Quinoa Soy Bean Idli

Quinoa is said to be the super food and has the complete set of nutrients that human body needs to survive...
Idli is another high protein, high nutrients food... making idli using Quinoa just make it sounds so healthy and wonderful!

Don't you agree?

Okra with Minced Meat 【肉末炒秋葵】

This summer was one of the hottest summer in past many years, good for plants that thrive in hot weather, Okra is one of them.

I harvested a bunch last week and didn't have time to cook until today. I was thinking of making some con-gee for lunch, and this okra dish is simply perfect for go with it.

今年夏天天气比较热，院子里的秋葵长得很是不错，收成了好多却一直没时间做。
今天想吃点粥，就做了个肉末秋葵下粥。简单好吃又营养！

Gobi Paratha (Cauliflower Stuffed Flat Bread)【花椰菜馅饼】

Cauliflower is very good source of fiber and vitamin C, I liked it stir fried the Chinese way and sometimes just steamed it with some garlic sauce.

Making it as stuffing in Indian stuffed paratha (Flat stuffed bread) is also a very tasty to use this vegetable, a good way to eat yourself to health!

菜花/花椰菜是个好东西除了可以炒菜，也可以试试做这个馅饼。是个很好吃的点心和早餐。

【乾煸四季豆】Stir Fry French Bean the Sichuan Style

上周过得非常忙碌，没什么时间去买菜，周日上午吃了一个星期外食的老公突然要求说要吃干煸四季豆，这道菜是他最喜欢的中菜之一。

懒得出门的我就跟他说：“如果妈妈种的四季豆结得够多的话就给你做一次！”

可能因为最近雨水足，院子里的四季豆居然收了一大盆。午餐桌上就有了这道美味的干煸四季豆啦！

有自家院子产的蔬菜吃真幸福！

Last week was crazy busy for me again, had no time to shop for grocery and been surviving on take out and sandwiches from delis!

This weekend I was thinking of making something at home and was still lazy to go to the market. I went and check at my square foot vegetable garden and was delighted to find that the french bean is again fruiting so well. I harvest a bunch last week and didn't expect to harvest as much again this week!

Thanks to the good rain fall and sunny days right after! Nothing like fresh vegetables from your own garden! Right?

【印度小锅咖喱鸡】Karahi Chicken （Karahi Murgh)

Karahi在印巴语里就是镬或者铸铁锅的意思，所以Karahi Murgh就字面解释，就有点类似干锅鸡的意思。这道菜汤汁比一般的咖喱菜少，非常浓郁好吃。

前阵子朋友举家搬回印度定居，留了一箱子的香料给我，其中就有做这个锅子咖喱鸡的香料粉。好久不做咖喱鸡了，这个周末就做个锅子咖喱鸡吃吧！

A good friend moved out of the country and left me with a big box of spices, one of them being this Karahi Chicken Masala, it has been a long time that I made a chicken dish, thus I decided to make this tasty Karahi Masala Chicken over the weekends!!

And it turned out to be Superb!

Brinjal with Minced Turkey 【肉末茄子】

I love any dishes made with Brinjal, this Brinjal with minced meat shows up on my dining table quite frequently.

Mum planted some Brinjal this summer. I harvested a few last few days and made this delicious dish again today!

我很喜欢吃茄子做的菜，所以这道肉末茄子经常在我家饭桌上出现。这个夏天妈妈种了好些茄子，收成了好几根，所以又拿来做了这道肉末茄子啦！
