Minggu, 20 Desember 2020
Edit
There're a duad of vegetables I yell to every bit Chinese spinach. Yin choi (苋菜) is 1 of them.
I beloved yin choi because the texture is smoothen when I laid it amongst minimal oil. Other nighttime light-green veggies would travel gritty when in that place isn't plenty oil.
Yin choi goes good amongst dried anchovies. I similar the veggies stir-fried amongst dried anchovies that convey been fried till crispy. That's quite nice.
Yin choi inwards dried anchovy stock – amongst perchance or thence fishballs or pork meatballs – makes a quick, delicious soup.
When I'm tired of pairing yin choi amongst dried anchovies, I role a mix of century as well as salted eggs. The veggies are poached, a overnice modify from soups as well as stir fries.
I beloved the dish because it's fresh tasting as well as there's hardly whatever oil. I start had it inwards Chinese restaurants as well as afterwards ordering it several times, I decided to hack the recipe.
I idea making the dish at dwelling would travel easy, as well as I was right. It's merely poaching a few leaves. How hard tin that be? Sometimes, I role yin choi. Other times, I role kow kei (枸杞, aka boxthorn as well as wedlock vine) similar the eatery version. Nothing to it at all.
