And then I thought.. Let me just add Chia Seeds to it for a boost in health 😉

Chinese Style Glazed Ginger Brussel Sprouts Stir Fry

9 Comments

Hello everyone!  So yes I have been up to cooking – but its been pretty busy with Envylope so I’ve not been posting much.  But I must.  I must.  Just simply because I really do enjoy blogging!

So I wanted something easy, quick and healthy as a stir fry to have with Tofu Hoisin Steaks (the easiest Tofu dish you can ever whip up).

And a close up of the greens…  The texture was just right and so was the sauce!

It was yum!  Being Vegetarian you have to try to like all kinds of vegetables otherwise it’s pretty limited!

Hello everyone!  Hope everyones been good 🙂

When I was away at my sisters wedding I got my nails done to match all the bright coloured indian clothes.  What could be better than Rainbow Zebra Nails?!  It’s pretty loud and bright, but nothing short of gorgeous I would say! 🙂

The manicurist was so happy with her art that she took a photo on her own phone to keep! 🙂

Foodie Fridays: Chinese New Year Salad – Yusheng

16 Comments

I got to eat amazing Yusheng this year.  For those of you who haven’t tried it- you are seriously missing out on life itself.  It’s got the crunch, the flavour and meaning behind it.  It’s amazing.

Each ingredient in the salad signifies a different meaning that provides luck for the New Year.  Chinese believe that the higher you toss the salad while mixing it – the more luck you get!  Just imagine, you’re given the green light to make a mess in a sophisticated restaurant.  It’s a child’s dream.  Oh – wait – it was really fun for me too.  Just wonder what does says about me 😉

I took a picture of it before eating it.  It was terribly tough to do that – as I couldn’t wait to dig in.  So happy that I was in Singapore during that period 🙂

I really want to try to make it at home.  I did some googling – came across this recipe which I’m thinking of modifying a bit to suit me more.  Will post my version up when I try it out.  I think I might need to make a trip to the Chinese Supermarket for some ingredients though!

Hope everyone’s been quite the foodie lately!
