My ex has fundamentally changed my cuisines. I think Taiwanese food will now always be a staple in my diet 
Tonight's dish: *Lu Ròu Fàn 卤肉饭 (Braised pork over rice)
It may not look good right now, but OMG this is melt in your mouth tasty! The umami is what I've been missing my whole life! (and being a girl. So.. probably 50/50!). And this málà ingredient is this numbing spice (from peppercorns) that just really kicks it up a notch! Its. An. Experience.
It took me being with my husband 7 yeara to find this dish. Because I couldnt exolain what it was I ate that one time. It wasn't until mom made it this last year (actually 1 year ago this week... Wild) that I discoveree what it was.
(just realized she's not my mom anymore. That's... Kind of weird. To take years to get used to calling her mom (naturally) only to then... Not. XD)
Mom brought home some #rambutans from Chinatown 
They're closely related to lychee & longan #TropicalFruits from #SoutheastAsia areas.
We're having Vietnamese prawn & pork salad rolls for lunch today

My 2 jars of homemade salted plums.
A Chinese tea cup is beside them - for scale.

A roll of Nem Chua - #Vietnamese #Cured #Pork with garlic, chili peppers & peppercorns. Wrapped in banana leaf. Made by a family friend.
Preserving #ginger & #SourPlums using simple #solar power with #repurposed takeout container & old serving platter. The ginger is #fermenting in the sun, after being soaked in #fermented salty mung bean juices. Sour plums are on day 3 of dehydrating in sun & coming along nicely (coarse salt & cane sugar used).
When my tummy feels unwell, I eat plain rice congee. These are #classic #Chinese #fermented #foods - all pair with congee. I ran out of salted ginger with soy beans & dried shrimp - two other preserved #Asian foods I eat with plain congee.
My tummy will feel better soon. I had a big bowl of plain congee with these 3 foods for my breakfast.
Since childhood, I've enjoyed hearing #CookingSounds & find those sounds comforting & contenting. From the methodical chopping sounds to the sizzle of raw foods dropped into a hot oiled wok & everything before, during & after cooking a meal.
