Some notes on my recent harvests...

Finally, last week, it was harvest time again for most of my edibles. 

There were the Butterfly Pea ( Clitoria ternatea ) flowers, the Gynura bicolor leaves, the Radishes ( Raphanus sativus ) and their greens, the Red Stem Malabar Ceylon Spinach ( Basella alba ), the Sweet Potato ( Ipomoea batatas ) leaves and the Thai Basil ( Ocimum basilicum ). 

A beautiful and bountiful lot. 

Which I had evenly distributed among my brothers and sisters.

Nothing was left for myself other than the smallest of the Radishes and its attached greens. Which I had very simply cooked ( the vegetarian way ) and eaten or enjoyed with a small bowl of white rice. SIMPLE, yet DELICIOUS and WONDERFUL!

Just in case someone would like to know...

For the Radish ...

Ingredients that I had used: 

radish ( cleaned, cut and sliced ), star anise ( 1 piece, cleaned ), ginger ( half thumb size, skin removed, cleaned and sliced ), organic soy sauce ( amount added according to my taste preference ), grape seed oil ( a few drops ) and filtered water ( just enough to cover the radish slices inside the pot )

Here is how I had it cooked:

1) At first, I had ALL the ingredients put into a small stainless steel pot.

2) Then, I had the pot covered, put on the stove and cooked over low heat.

3) When the sliced radish had finally soften, I had the pot removed from the stove.

4) Finally, I had the dish served in a small, white porcelain bowl.

How did this dish tasted? 

Fragrant, sweet and wonderful!

For the Radish greens ...

Ingredients that I had used: 

radish greens ( cleaned and cut to bite size ), garlic ( 1 clove, skin removed, cleaned and sliced ), rock salt ( amount added according to my taste preference ), grape seed oil ( 1 tablespoon ) and filtered water ( just enough to wet the radish greens during cooking ).

Here is how I had them cooked:

1) At first, I had the stainless steel pot heated on the stove over low heat.

2) Then, I had the tablespoon of grape seed oil added into the pot.

3) When the oil was about to smoke, I had the sliced garlic thrown in.

4) Shortly after that, I had the radish greens and a small pinch of rock salt thrown in too before I had a little filtered water sprinkled onto them.

5) Then I had the radish greens stir-fried for some time inside the pot until cooked.

6) After that I had the pot removed from the stove.

7) Finally, I had the stir-fried radish greens served in a small, white porcelain bowl.

How did this dish tasted?

Quite bitter but most delicious!
