In Season Fruit<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

My last post<\/a> got a lot of reaction, so here is part 2. This time, let’s take a look what we can be eating more of in October.<\/h3>\n

Passion Fruit<\/h3>\n

\u767e\u9999\u679c (b\u01cei xi\u0101ng gu\u01d2)<\/p>\n

Grapes<\/h3>\n

\u8461\u8404 (p\u00fa t\u00e1o)<\/p>\n

Dragon Fruit<\/h3>\n

\u706b\u9f8d\u679c (hu\u01d2 l\u00f3ng gu\u01d2)<\/p>\n

\"IMG20170822123133\"<\/p>\n

Sugar Cane<\/h3>\n

\u7518\u8517 (g\u0101n zh\u00e8)<\/p>\n

Pomelo<\/h3>\n

\u6587\u65e6\u67da (w\u00e9n d\u00e0n y\u00f2u)<\/p>\n

\"DSC03685\"<\/p>\n

(I recently saw a Taiwanese woman prepare this in a way I hadn’t seen before. She topped and tailed the pomelo so either end had the flesh just showing. She then slice the Pomelo in half horizontally revealing two discs of pomelo. Then, she cut the disc in half down the segments to reveal two semi-circles, and fanned out the segments. It was quite a neat trick, and something I will be trying this time!)<\/p>\n

Custard Apple<\/h3>\n

\u91cb\u8fe6 (sh\u00ec ji\u0101)<\/p>\n

\"DSC03677\"<\/p>\n

(Break the fruit apart with your hands and get in there. Don’t eat the seeds)<\/p>\n

\u916a\u68a8 (lu\u00f2 l\u00ed)<\/p>\n

\"DSC03673\"<\/p>\n

(I like avocado, but I don’t fully understand the craze that seems to be sweeping the planet concerning this)<\/p>\n

\n

\u6728\u74dc (m\u00f9 gu\u0101)<\/p>\n

\"IMG20170822123424\"<\/p>\n

(I recommend<\/strong>: Use a speed peeler to take all of the skin off the papaya first, then cut lengthwise down the papaya and scoop out the seeds. Chop into desired size)<\/p>\n

\n

\u67ff\u5b50 (sh\u00ec zi)<\/p>\n

\"DSC03681\"<\/p>\n

Always in season:<\/strong> Musk Melon \u7f8e\u6fc3\u74dc\u3001Banana \u9999\u8549\u3001Guava \u82ad\u6a02<\/p>\n

\n

In Season Vegetables<\/h1>\n

Water Spinach<\/h3>\n

\u7a7a\u5fc3\u83dc (k\u014dng x\u012bn c\u00e0i)<\/p>\n

\"IMG20170822123243\"<\/p>\n

(I recommend<\/strong>: Cut off the end that has a little bit of root on it, wash thoroughly, cut (if you want you can leave it whole) in half horizontally, blanch for a minute in some boiling water with salt. Then stir-fry with lots of garlic)<\/p>\n

\n

\u7da0\u7af9\u7b4d (L\u01dc zh\u00fas\u01d4n)<\/p>\n

Ginger<\/h3>\n

\u8591 (ji\u0101ng)<\/p>\n

Golden Jujube (Fresh Date)<\/h3>\n

\u91d1\u68d7 (j\u012bn z\u01ceo)<\/p>\n

Bitter Melon<\/h3>\n

\u82e6\u74dc (k\u01d4 gu\u0101)<\/p>\n

\"IMG20170822123203\"<\/p>\n

(I recommend<\/strong>: cut down the length of the melon, then scoop out any of the white pith, in addition to the seeds. Wash the bitter melon and pat it dry. Fry it up with a salted egg – delicious)<\/p>\n

\n

\u82b1\u6930\u83dc (hu\u0101 y\u0113 c\u00e0i)<\/p>\n

Edamame<\/h3>\n

\u6bdb\u8c46 (m\u00e1o d\u00f2u)<\/p>\n

Peppers<\/h3>\n

\u9752\u6912 (q\u012bng ji\u0101o)<\/p>\n

Cabbage<\/h3>\n

\u9ad8\u9e97\u83dc (g\u0101o l\u00ec c\u00e0i)<\/p>\n

Chinese Yam<\/h3>\n

\u5c71\u85e5 (sh\u0101n y\u00e0o)<\/p>\n

\"IMG20170822123226\"<\/p>\n

(I recommend<\/strong>: You give me some ideas, please. I have never cooked with this!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u6817\u5b50 (l\u00ec zi)<\/p>\n

Water Chestnut<\/h3>\n

\u83f1\u89d2 (l\u00edng ji\u01ceo)<\/p>\n
