Pudina means mint leaves in Indian.
This traditional chutney side dish is #nutritious & aids in #digestion. This is the #SouthIndian version. North India has different version.
Harvested some of our Chinese chives & bean sprouts. Fried them up with lots of garlic & sprinkles of salt n pepper. It is simple, tasty & healthy. Cooks up in less than 5 minutes.
Tonight, I made the family Chinese cabbage soup, with lean chicken, fish balls, lobster balls & green onions. We eat with steamed basmati rice. Basmati is better for Mom than other rices due to lower GI score - she can only have rice in small amounts now. I'm trying to get her Type 2 diabetes management under control & customized diet helps Mom a lot.
Made myself some fried #asparagus & #Teochew style soy garlic fried #porkChops (cut after cooking). Eating them with steamed jasmine #rice. Today's #lunch in a bowl.
Rolling everything up. When we don't have #RicePaper - we just use lettuce as the wrapper. In Vietnam, it's usually eaten with just lettuce wraps. I prefer wrapping everything into rice paper.

For our brunch today. Only 1 is left. I gobbled up 2 of them, pretty quickly. It's one of Dad's fave dishes & every time I make & eat it now, it reminds me of when we ate them together. I miss mealtimes with my Dad a lot.
@geraineon Had cucumber & shrimp soup & pickled mustard with eggs & steamed rice for breakfast.
Beef & bamboo salad rolls for very late lunch.
Slow cooking beef stew for late dinner 😊
Harvested some of our #AsianGreens from garden & made some soup with pork meatballs (with rice vermicelli/water chestnuts).
My #Chinese#breakfast today.
Our family's version of #TangYuan - we will make it again on Double Ninth festival, Oct. 23.
It is glutinous rice balls, with sweet black sesame filling in a ginger infused sweet broth. Topped with toasted sesame seeds & crushed black sesame powder.
