Arrowroot + Lotus Root Soup & Steamed Brinjals

When we stepped out of our gate for morning walk, a lovely sunrise greeted us.

Sunrise at 7:07am.

Since I am already feeling very much better, I spent some time tidying up the garden.
~~~~~
I haven't been cooking since my gastric problem started. Feeling energized, I decided to cook dinner yesterday evening.
Arrowroot (fan kok) + lotus root + carrot + red dates + goji berries + pork bones.
I had some home grown green brinjals and 1 purple brinjal in my fridge. Normally I will steamed the brinjals and later peel off the skin.                                    Compared to the purple brinjals, the skin of green brinjals is thin which makes it difficult for peeling. When cooked, I left the skin on the brinjals, slit them in half and drizzled them with oyster and soy sauce and garlic oil down the centre. The brinjals were soft and nice but the single purple brinjal took a longer time to soften. If you don't like to eat the skin, you can easily scrap off the soft flesh from the skin.

Linking to Skywatch Friday.

Since we, God's children, are human beings - made of flesh and
blood - he became flesh and blood too by being born in human form;
for only as a human being could he die and
in dying break the power of the devil who had the power of death.
(Hebrews 2:14, The Living Bible-TLB)

  11. Thank you Nancy. Your arrowroot lotus soup looks so delicious! I love to eat brinjals and will just swallow the skin if it is too tough. I think you better not eat the purple brinjal skin since you are healing from indigestion. did you eat it?
