Oh yes! I was just reminded by my trusted other half that I totally forgot about the Christmas orange shortbread we made for Xmas!

Instead of sending cards this year, we decided to share a taste of yumminess and love instead with our lovely colleagues, neighbours, friends and family.

They turned out great, and they didn't last long! This is just one of the things I enjoy doing around festive period with my little one.

Have you ever tried Chayote? It's called 'fo shou gua' δ½›ζ‰‹η“œ in Chinese. I shredded it and then stir fried it with some garlic slices. It's light, carries a sweet taste and crunchy texture every bite. You can find it in Chinese supermarkets or UK supermarkets such as Morrisons and Asda. If you fancy a different veg option than routine british ones, I highly recommend this πŸ˜‹

We harvested the ruan jiang'er (θ½―ε§œε„Ώ) - a type of green leafy vegetable that originates from Leshan, China. It managed to grow over here in the UK, even though it's slightly out of season and despite a temperamental summer - subsequently it wasn't quite as scrumptious as in china, but we still managed to grow it, harvest it, and made it into a simple and healthy egg soup.

From writing the shopping list to picking and buying all the ingredients, from following steps in the recipe to serving the cake on a plate, our little man did it (almost) all by himself.

There were some frustrations trying to balance following recipe steps and following curiosity; however, the end result is amazing. The best lemon cake ever, made by the best chef ever :) πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜‹

The leafy green in this soup is called D**g Han Cai, which can only be found in Sichuan around the cold months. It's super tasty in a toufu soup!

Crepe for breakfast?

Jianbing are relatively similar to crepes, but much tastier! (at least, according to my husband). These are a popular breakfast option across China, especially in the North.

They're pretty quick and simple to make: batter made of wheat and grain flour,
eggs, crispy cuibing (type of cracker) for the filling, sauce (usually sweet bean), and various veg and possibly a bit of meat to top it off.

Simple breakfast perfection πŸ˜‹πŸ™Œ

We have been busy making Orange Shortbread for Chinese New Year. Little one is excited to share them with his friends in preschool πŸ’ž #lisaschinesekitchen #yummyyummy #proudmama #orange #shortbread #chinesenewyear2023

It's getting colder in the UK again, so I made sure I benefited from this cold weather by making some Sichuanese Spicy Chorizo 四川香肠。It will be a few weeks until they are ready to be served but it's a festive ritual which carries a strong Chinese New Year spirit for me πŸ’ž and brings me closer to friends and family at the other side of the world. 🌍 Can't wait for them to be ready! Yum yum πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ #lisaschinesekitchen #delicious #mumsrecipe #chinesenewyear2023 #sichuanfood #四川香肠
