we all need a little bit of watering, a little bit of soaking, and a little bit of showering to grow 🍓 missed the window to go strawberry picking this year so here are photos from 2 years ago. it took me so long to post these because I wasn't satisfied with how these shots turned out. but I guess they're not too terrible now that I look at them again. did I lower my standards? maybe.

d**g d**g gua gua (冬瓜湯)

sometimes when I make a good soup, I make variations of it on repeat. especially since the d**g guas from my parents' backyard are humongo. swipe to see me get a ton of prickly thorns in my hands. 🙃 just learned today from googling cantonese food puns that d**g gua tofu has inauspicious connotations and signifies misfortune. 😰 feel free to swap the tofu with something else 😭 but otherwise enjoy!

RECIPE
d**g gua, wintermelon, dad's garden
tofu
gluten cubes
mushrooms (baby king oyster, shiitake, orange)
smashed organic ginger chunk
lemongrass, tied
mushroom seasoning, salt, white pepper, black pepper
water to cover all ingredients
kombu concentrate

try some fresh 田七! apparently it's called notoginseng and the dried herb is known to relieve pain and improve blood circulation? (don't quote me on my naive google search)

it's easy to grow. it's super delicious in soups. it gives the soup a nice thicker consistency without additional starch. the leaves have a thick kelp-like texture, and the texture of the little root nubs are kinda like the taro you eat during mid-autumn festival but less starchy

stay tuned for part 2 of this herbal soup recipe!

plain or matcha tang yuan?? all my matcha was cermeonial matcha so these matcha balls came out bitter 💀 the texture of fresh homemade tang yuan always beat the frozen ones tho

RECIPE
plain: glutinous rice flour + water added little by little until you get a nice ball of dough
matcha: add to plain dough a couple tsp of matcha powder (use culinary, not ceremonial since we're going to boil these), add in a generous amount of brown sugar or sweetener of choice

Bittermelon isn't bitter if you pick the ones with plump ridges. This one's a childhood fave - stir fried with salted black bean, ginger, and a potato starch slurry
