Ambitious Deliciousness – Dont Eat Lazy.

For those of you who might not be familiar, Chinese broccoli tastes similar to broccoli, with a hint of bitterness. Chinese broccoli looks like a cross between broccoli and spinach, with stems and a leafy end instead of a flower. Like many Chinese vegetable dishes, it’s easy to prepare yet delicious. I ate this with some brown rice on the side and a fried egg, making it a great weeknight meal for one (or two).

You can also make extra sauce and use the same method to cook other vegetables, such as eggplant, string beans, or even mushrooms. I realize that the dish looks pretty salty, but fear not – the black bean sauce it just making it appear that way.

Hello world!

Chinese broccoli has been my favorite vegetable for the past couple of weeks. I bought a pound and ended up using it in three separate dishes. Chinese broccoli has leaves and stems, similar to what you would find in kale, but the flavor is much more subtle. I was really happy with the way this dish came out, and it was so simple and easy to make.

My sister brought back some paprika from the streets of Budapest, and it was bursting with an amazing amount of flavor! The extra kick which complemented the sweetness combined with the garlic flavor so wonderfully.

After the jump (and the recipe), I give you the cookbook winner!
