I have said before that I don't cook
legumes (beans) often enough and it is still true. More
beans and legumes, please.
Self-reminder.
So today, this
Black Bean Potato Cakes/Patties 黑豆土豆煎饼 is vegetarian, with Black Beans replacing the "meat" proteins.
Like other beans, black beans is a good sou

Though the idea is not exceptionally wild or creative, this is (indeed) my first time having
Gai Lan (in) Soup.
And you know what? I will cook this soup again when stir-fried
Gai Lan (Chinese broccoli) gets boring once in a while. Truth is: the same
stir-fried Gai Lan can't be posted repeatedly in

I have been using more and more
onions in my everyday cooking. From 2-3 medium-size onions for every week's grocery shopping, to 4-6 onions. With an average of half or more onion used in any single dish, the onions in my pantry can be used up really fast!
Onions contain flavonoids such as quercetin

Never be stingy on
tomatoes, here I said.
An aura of insecurity fills the the kitchen one day....
Not a single tomato at home!
NOOOooo.....!!!
It's like losing the ability to cook! A little exaggeration maybe but truly, I feel comfortable when the kitchen is well-stocked with tomatoes. Even a s

It was supposed to be only part of the
roasted garlic going into this dish but in the end, it's an entire whole bulb of garlic (about 6-8 cloves) into this
Roasted Whole-Garlic Black Bean Stew.

This
healthy Zhajiang (meat sauce) can be a topping for noodles or a side dish with steamed rice.
Other than the
edamame-tofu-carrot-meat-sweet potato toppings, thinly shredded or finely grated cucumber gives
ZhaJiang noodles 炸酱面 its signature look.
If the meat sauce were leftovers, the cucumbe

ZhaJiang Mian 炸酱面 is a dish of wheat noodles topped with a mixture of ground meat stir-fried and simmered with bean-based sauce. I have always enjoyed a good bowl of

ZhaJiang Mian has turned healthier? At least, I thought th

Leeks, are certainly dominating the farmer's market right now, early May. As soon as I picked a bunch from the farmer's market last weekend, I have to use them fast before freshness calls a day; and not be lazy in kitchen prep., as leeks usually need some rinsing/cleaning due to the grits trapped wi
