I absolutely love #Chinese #pickled #MustardGreens. Ever since being introduced to them as a toddler, it's been a fave cultural pickled food that I loved to eat.
I eat them as snacks & also cook with them. You can buy jars of it from Chinatown or most Asian food stores or you can make your own:

My Friday is better now. Just got my big gift jar of homemade #kimchi from my client's sweet daughter 😀 Mom's going to love this too - she loves kimchi! We make our own too but everyone makes a different style.

This is their longtime #Korean family's style & it's just the right amount of spicy & tangy 👍 Excellent on it's own or as snack toppers or added to soups & other dishes.
The jar is big enough to last us for a couple of months!

High-angle, close-up shot focuses sharply on the content of a clear plastic container filled with kimchi. The dominant colors are the reddish-orange from the sauce coating the light yellow and pale green of the kimchi cabbage. The composition is filled entirely with the kimchi and the container's rim, eliminating background distractions.

My breakfast today is Okinawa style, #pork #shoyu #ramen #noodles soup. Soy & pork based broth. Loads of woodear mushrooms & bamboo shoots. Hearty meal in a bowl. I haven't mixed the broth in yet - doing that after this post.

Overhead shot of a bowl of ramen. The toppings include a crinkled sheet of nori seaweed, two slices of seared pork belly, bright green sliced scallions, a small pile of pink pickled ginger, and several pale bamboo shoots. The noodles are slightly visible underneath the toppings.

Fried up some locally caught #prawns with #chayote #squash. Having it with rice.

I'll be helping my partner, Beau, to do a #pikwun, or “fish sticks” in Hulq’umi’num, traditional #CoastSalish #salmon cookout for the #Gabriola Museum, in June.

Wide shot, natural light. Three A-frame wooden racks constructed from light-colored tree limbs stand over a fire of charred logs. Salmon fillets hang from the racks, secured by small wooden sticks. Soft focus on the background showing green trees and part of a play structure under a bright sky. Smoke rises from the fire, diffusing light, with clear blue sky in upper left corner, providing good contrast.

Beau & Tyler, by the fire & #salmon.

Two men stand on a grassy shoreline next to a campfire with salmon roasting. The man on the left has a beard and is wearing a blue shirt and black pants. The man on the right is wearing a cedar bark woven hat and a red long sleeve shirt with a native cedar tree design. Both men have their hands raised forward, palms facing outward. Over the fire are sticks propped up like a teepee, with salmon skewered and roasting. In the background is a blue sky with fluffy white clouds and a glimpse of the ocean.

The butterflied wild salmon are now cooking by the fire ❤️🙏

On a sunny day, several salmon are roasting over an open campfire on a grassy shoreline, with a view of the ocean in the background. The fish are skewered and propped up on an A-frame structure made of roughly hewn branches. Two people are visible: one walking away from the camera wearing dark clothes, and another toward the right, wearing a red shirt and woven cedar bark hat, near a picnic table set with food and drinks. The background includes a sunny expanse of water, a green treed island, and a clear blue sky. There is a pile of rocks on the left of the frame.

My #breakfast cod #congee with green onions & fried wonton wraps - I added some minced ginger too.

The #Zhuang people are the largest #EthnicMinority in #China and most live in #Guangxi. #PreservedLemons feature in their diet and are usually eaten with congee (rice porridge). They feature in duck & fish recipes & can also be served as a relish & they are related to the Vietnamese Chanh muối.
