I was a happy chappie when I hit the market this morning. For days now, I've lived in hope and today it all came together. They have spinach, again! My favourite vegetable. I am never sure whether or not I like that most produce here in China is very seasonal. It's good that they are not flying stuff in from distant lands, but some things I just plain miss in the off season.
I will probably bore you death over the next month or two with spinach. Just call me Popeye.
So, tonight I had, guess what. Spinach. Cooked my favourite way. Simply wilted with some sea salt.
Along with some stir fried pig's kidney, shallots, chilli, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and jade gill mushrooms. I would normally finish this with some scallions or Chinese chives, but when I got there the cupboard was bare. Tasted fine without them.
Still have half the spinach I bought. Breakfast!
