Mini Spring Onion Pancake 【迷你葱油饼】


I have a small patch of Spring onion planted in my raised bed, it has been almost 6 years, I never uproot them, I will cut only the green parts for cooking and it never failed to regrow throughout summer. They go into hibernation during the winter months and if I fertilize it well, it will come back stronger and thicker than before!

Last weekend I harvest a bunch of the spring onion and make this mini pancakes for lunch, it is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, we all savoured it well.

我家后院种有一小片的青葱,大约有五六年了。每年夏天我只剪绿色部分用,它就一直长,一整个夏天都有足够的青葱供应。秋天入冬之前我收完最后一茬后就会施一次肥。第二年春天它又窜出来,肥肥美美地供应一个春夏。实在是个不费心思又实用的种植物。

周末我收了一把细细切成葱花,加上自己熬的猪油做了这款迷你葱油饼给俊宝贴秋膘。小子很喜欢,吃了三个呢!

Romano Bean Potato Stew 【豆角炖土豆】


Romano Bean is a very common vegetable in the North Eastern part of China. It can be made into a few traditional dishes included French Bean Steamed Noodle .

I also like to stew it with little pork/chicken and potatoes, a very good one pot dish.

豆角炖土豆是中国东北的一道家常菜,非常好吃下饭。夏季我们这里的中国超市经常买得到油豆角,我除了经常买回来做豆角焖面外,在后院的土豆/马铃薯收成时,会买来做这款豆角炖土豆。

再加一大碗白饭,就能美美地吃上一顿了。
