Chinese Ingredients: leek and spring onionsIn Chinese cooking we use leek and spring onions a lot as ingredients, so I put these two together in this month’s Ingredient Tips.• Leek can be fried with other ingredients at the beginning, such as gingers or chilli paste. You will immediately notice its special aroma. But don't fry it too long or burn it as that will change the smell. • Leek is also good if you finely chopped it and mix it with minced meat, such as make a meat ball dish. In China, we usually use the chopped leek as a key ingredient for Chinese dumpling stuffing. Try this when you make the meatballs. • Spring onion is often used at end of cooking. Simply garnish the dish or soup by adding chopped spring onions on the top. You even don't need cook it. But if you prefer to cook it, less than a minute is enough. Otherwise, the nice smell is gone. • Unlike leek, spring onion is not suitable for frying at beginning. I guess the heat will kill its special flavour, which we normally call it “dead”. Ideas for easy Chinese egg dishesI love egg dishes, good protein, easy to make. Here I share with you some ideas to make simple Chinese egg dishes. All these egg dishes can be made by using the same recipe: Egg Fried with tomato, a very common Chinese dish.• Egg fried with sliced onions. • Egg fried with spinach, this can also make as a soup if you add stock after quick frying them. • Egg fried with leek • Egg fried with cucumbers. Sooooo easy, right? you can make different dishes every day. So, why not try it at home :)
