Home Grown Ginger & Chicken With Raisin Wine Soup

Last month I harvested one pot of ginger and now I still have one more pot in the garden.

Recently, I noticed a ginger flower from one of the ginger plants.

 This is not the first time I have see edible ginger flower but this is the first time I get to see the colour of the flowers.

The flowers came from the ginger plants in this shallow pot (about 6 inches depth).

A few days later, I saw another ginger flower that came out from the side of the pot.

Some of the ginger rhizomes have appeared above the soil level.

I am looking forward to make pickled ginger with some of these rhizomes and the rest will be used for cooking.

Home cooked dinner

I used a lot of ginger to cook chicken with wine soup. 

Since I have 3 bottles of home made raisin wine, I used 1 bottle to cook the above chicken soup. This soup is good for warming up the body during cool, rainy days.

Ingredients used: Ginger slices, red dates, goji berries, chicken, a bottle of raisin wine and some salt to taste.

I love mee sua (noodle) with the chicken and wine soup.

Share the chicken + wine soup with my neighbour who enjoy it very much.

You are my hiding place from every storm of life;

you even keep me from getting into trouble!

You surround me with songs of victory.

I will instruct you (says the Lord) and

guide you along the best pathway for your life;

I will advise you and watch your progress.

(Psalm 32:7-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

Scrambled Egg, Ginger Strips & Glutinous Rice Wine With Noodle

One morning I received a packet of dried noodle from a friend. She likes the noodle and she bought a packet for me to try.

This is the label on the packet.

One evening, I cooked this noodle for dinner.

I fried ginger strips with some sesame oil, and I added egg to the ginger strips to make scrambled egg. I added water and goji berries and let it boil over medium fire to make soup for the noodle. Then I added some glutinous rice wine and taste to taste. This soup is usually cooked for women who have given birth during the first month of recovery aka confinement month.

Steamed home grown okra and green eggplant and sprinkled with spicy anchovies sambal.

So if we say we are his friends

but go on living in spiritual darkness and sin, we are lying.

But if we are living in the light of God's presence, just as Christ does,

then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other,

and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.
