This was on a Monday, the 1st of March. We woke up later than usual to a beautiful morning.
Sunrise at 7:30am
I had one green Amaranth that sprouted out from the ground in between the flower pots in my garden. It kept growing until it was over 5 feet tall. It was big until it blocks the sunlight from my eggplants. The stems and leaves look tender and I decided to cut it down and blanch the tender parts for dinner.
Blanched green Amaranth drizzled with garlic oil, oyster and soy sauce. This plate of green came from that 1 giant green Amaranth plant that grew in my garden. I didn't expect it to be still tender especially when it grew to that height and size. I am glad I didn't discard the whole plant.
Left over fish head curry with added pineapples.
Special request from hubby for deep fried crunchy anchovies. The anchovies were deep fried a day earlier and kept in air tight bottle. We love this with rice porridge but for today, I took out a bit for dinner.
Our simple home cooked dinner with steamed rice.

A friend likes to eat Buntong village wonton noodle, so we agreed to have wonton noodle for next day's dinner.
Three of us had the dry version and one had the soup version. Hubby requested for additional dumplings (wontons) for everyone. Some likes the springy noodles but we prefer this home made noodle which is less springy. This is one of our favourite wonton noodles.
And remember that your heavenly Father to whom you pray
has no favorites when he judges.
He will judge you with perfect justice for everything you do;
so act in reverent fear of him from now on until you get to heaven.

Very nice article! Happy March and Spring season to you dear friend! Anchovy is our traditional fish-dish. And looks Great..
ReplyDeleteThank you and Happy March to you too.
DeleteA great meal! I love those fried crunchy anchovies.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie.
DeleteWhat a dawn to start the day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, William.
Deletei wonder what's the topping on the dry version wanton noodle...pork in dark sauce?
ReplyDeleteYes, you guessed right.
DeleteWow! Two plates of greens for dinner! I am sure it is very easy to finish all the greens for both plates, right? I love to eat both greens. Good that the yinchoy grow so tall so that you have more leaves to harvest.
ReplyDeleteNo problem finishing the 2 plates of greens.
Delete...it's amazing how fast some plants can grow!
ReplyDeleteReally amazing because I didn't even feed it with fertilizer.
DeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Martha.
DeleteI like the yinchoy! Wahhh... so good harvest, if possible, I would like to plant this too! hahaha..
ReplyDeleteThis yin choy grew by itself and I just let it be. It grew so big that I have enough to fill a plate.
DeleteYour flowers look so beautiful.

Thank you and have a great day.
DeleteI am wondering what that plant tastes like...I think it so neat the way you and friends share meals together.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't been sharing meals throughout the lockdown and now that the restriction is more relaxed, we were able to meet up again.
DeleteOh my the food is amazing. My stomach is growling now.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee.
DeleteYou are very efficient with your plants. That is amazing that a plant that big was still tender.
ReplyDeleteI think so too.
DeleteI learned something new today, I did not know that Amaranth could be cooked and eaten. Your meals are always so amazing! You are awesome. Have a marvellously happy day!
ReplyDeleteThank you and have a happy weekend.
DeleteThree of us had the dry version and one had the soup version. Hubby requested for additional dumplings (wontons) for everyone. Well for me Nancy, I love them all.
ReplyDeleteCruisin Paul
Sometimes I had a hard time deciding which I want because I love both versions.
DeleteI have never heard of Amaranth before!!! Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. Take care and stay safe.
DeleteThe first photo is so lovely

DeleteHola Nancy. Sabrosos platos. No sabÃa que se podÃa hacer un plato tan sabroso con Amaranto. Muchas gracias. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lola.
DeleteSweet potato leaves, i did not know those could be eaten.
ReplyDeleteThe tender leaves are good.
DeleteI like both veggies to stir fried withvlots of garlic and dried prawns.
ReplyDeleteI like too.
DeleteNever knew amaranth could grow that tall!
ReplyDeleteI didn't but now I see with my own eyes.
DeleteThank you and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDoes not really fancy anchovies, hee hee. The green Amaranth leaves look so green and healthy.
ReplyDeleteI like anchovies but hubby only likes anchovies deep fried or in sambal as in nasi lemak.
DeleteFeliz fin de semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
