Home grown veggie

One china couple grew chai xin in his backyard and he gave me a whole plastic bag full of it. Organic :) but that meant that the leaves had some holes and really had to wash off all the soil from the veggies. But you don't get this kind of veggies here in Iowa, so it was a good change!


The chinese restaurants here in Iowa, or in America in general like to cook this dish (mushrooms, broccoli and cauliflower) and then make the gravy thick with corn starch. So i attempted to do my own rendition of this dish... looks the same just that I did not put msg, so not so tasty. Haha.


I bought a variety of beans that the hispanics love to eat as their staple food. So I threw in a handful of black beans into my rice... and out came something that looked like pulut hitam... hahaha. cool! Of course, it didnt taste like pulut hitam, only looked like it.
