Part of my hearty #AsianBreakfast today is chai tow kway -> savoury #radish cake. I had it #TeochewViet style - fried, without eggs & with nuoc cham sauce poured over them.
When I do them traditional Teochew Chinese style, we fry them with eggs & eat them with a soy sauce/red vinegar/chili sauce blend.
Asher had breakfast earlier & was keeping my seat warm 😸

Since I couldn't sleep. I am #cooking some #Chinese #herbal #ChickenSoup. Perfect for Autumn soup season. A hearty, tasty immune boosting, traditional Chinese #soup.

This #recipe link is similar to our family's version but we never use green onion or any other onions in ours - it's not needed. I always add extra goji berries because I love them. I used a small, whole chicken, to make a large pot of soup for my family to enjoy ☺️

Enjoying some #RedBeanPaste #pastries & a cup of #OolongTea. I don't like overly sweet snacks. These red bean paste desserts have slight sweetness, far from overpowering sweet taste. I got these ones from Fairway Market.

I'm working from home for part of today. I have 2 client check up appointments in the late afternoon. Both appointments are less than 15 minutes drive away👍

I made some comforting & healthy #lotus #root + #gingko #nuts #soup for #breakfast. 😊

In #Teochew / #Chinese cultures, #symbolism includes foods we eat too.
Lotus roots signify abundance. Gingko signifies longevity.

This recipe is similar to our homestyle version (we don't use written recipes at home):
