Green and white

Nicely blanched greens are delicious looking and tasting. I blanche a lot of greens --kale, choi sum, baby mustard, broccolli florets -- they all taste equally good and usually I add a tiny pinch of tumeric to the salted boiling water. I serve blanched kale with crisp fried garlic flakes for added crunch.

My daughter loves eating sticky rice. Well made sticky rice is so delicious we can eat it by itself, but usually we make a meal of poached ginger chicken, steamed or blanched greens, the sticky rice and a wonderful tangy fiery dipping sauce made with bird's eye chilli, fish sauce and green onion (my daughter eats the chicken and rice without this sauce). Try it, tastes delicious and looks very appealing too!
