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！

Chinese Toon Omelette 【香椿煎蛋】

A friend of mine called to inform me that her Chinese toon has sprouted  and told me to go harvest some for cooking. I collected about a basket-full of the Chinese toon young leaves and made some Chinese toon sauce. 

I also kept aside a bunch to make this Omelette, it is a delicacy that comes with spring!

前两周有个姐姐给我发短信说家里的香椿发芽了，让我过去取。新鲜的香椿我全给烫好，做了一大罐的香椿酱，可以拌面炒饭，非常好。

剩下的一小部分做了这个香椿煎蛋，非常好吃，真是一到春天必吃的美味呢！

Fried lotus roots box 【炸藕盒】

This Fried lotus roots box was made during the Chinese New Year period, but I didn't have to to write the recipe until now.

The lotus are sliced and stuffed with minced meat then coat with a layer of batter and deep fried, a little high in calorie but it is so tasty.

I think one can indulge a little during the CNY celebration, right?

这款藕盒是今年春节期间做的一道年菜，之后一直瞎忙也提不起劲来写食谱。今天周末有点时间，就把食谱整理一下放到博客里。

炸藕盒非常好吃，香酥的外皮里面裹着脆脆的莲藕，一口咬下去还有浓浓的肉香味。是一道口感味道都很有层次的菜哦！

Shepherd's Purse Wonton 【荠菜馄饨】

Spring is my favorite season for a reason, as soon the the spring date passed and the weather warms up, many of the edible wild plants will appear one after another. 

Shepherd's purse is one of the earliest wild greens to appear in the spring, I always try to spot them before the flower stalks appear, the leaves are much more tender and sweet at this stage.

My favorite way to prepare this greens is to make it into wonton, one thing I look forward to eat every year around this time of the year.

一年四季里我最喜欢春天了，立春之后天气几乎就是一天天的暖和起来。我家附近的郊野就变得很热闹有趣，有好多的野菜可以挖。

初春我最期待的就是挖荠菜了，刚出土的荠菜非常嫩，挖一袋拿回家做馄饨吃，非常地美味！

Chinese New Year Lucky Bag 【福袋】

This lucky bag was made on the first day of Chinese New Year but I didn't had time to post the recipe. 

Since today it is still within the first month of Chinese lunar calender, I take the chance to post this recipe to wish all my readers the happiest and prosperous year of 2019/Year of Pig!

这个福袋是今年大年初一的时候做的。后来一直没有时间写食谱，趁今天还是农历正月，就写个福袋食谱祝福大家猪年顺利，福气满袋！

Steamed Fish With Ginger 【姜蓉蒸鱼】

Whole fish needs to be served in Chinese New Year reunion dinner as the Chinese word for fish "鱼“  has the same pronunciation and intonation is the same as 余 (yu) which carries the meaning of plenty or abundance in Chinese.

Thus serving whole fish is the Chinese way of wishing for prosperity and wealth abundant in the year to come!

我家乡那里吃团年饭时，都必须上一条全鱼，以表达年年有鱼（余）的期望。

虽然出国后我很少蒸全鱼，今年就蒸一条我在马来西亚时经常吃的姜茸蒸鱼，也希望往后我们家可以年年有余。

Pumpkin Steamed Cake 【红枣南瓜发糕】

A few pumpkin plants came from our compost last spring and grew into a very healthy plant that gave us handful of pumpkins. Though the yield is not large but the fruits are very sweet and tasty.

I made a  couple of dishes with my homegrown pumpkin and this Steamed Cake is one of that.

去年春天的时候我家前院的土里自己钻出几棵南瓜苗，间苗时我只留了一棵，后来长成好大一丛南瓜藤。可能前院的土壤不算特别肥沃，所以后来一共才结了5只南瓜。自己种的南瓜绿色无污染，味道特别甜美好吃。

今天取小半只做南瓜发糕，特别香甜美味。
