Easy Kalua Pig in the Oven
I just realized that my ti leaf plant (a gift from my father-in-law) is
25 years old
and from that one cutting it has sprouted hundreds of keiki's (children) lucky me.
Ti Leaves add
a subtle grassy flavor to this dish and are well worth adding if available. However, if you don’t have any - the pork will still be delicious.

Taiwanese Spinach
When I stroll through the produce
section of my Asian grocery store I often get overwhelmed by the vast selection
of Asian greens. They always look so fresh and inviting, but I don’t always
know how to cook them. My go to method and recipe has been Chinese
White Sauce.
However, after bringing home a bunch of Taiwanese spinach which has now become my new favorite. I discoved a new method to cook Asian greens thanks to Nancy at YuCanCook.
It’s a quick stir fry in a hot wok that brings out the flavor of the greens
without overpowering them. So if you are looking for a quick and easy way to
add Asian greens to your meal give this a try.

What is couscous?
Couscous
has the look of coarse cornmeal and the taste of tiny bits of pasta. Its flavor is
neutral which makes it very versatile and can be served hot or cold. The box never reads "instant" but it should because it only takes about 5 minutes to prepare.
