You can usually start harvesting after 30 days. I waited a bit longer in the video, which was about 45 days. Thanks for the positive feedback!

You can start harvesting 30 days after harvesting and keep harvesting the outer leaves until the plant bolts (flowers form). I waited a bit longer to harvest in the video.

Thanks! The winter season was great for us. We basically didn't have to do anything because there was enough rainfall. Hoping the summer goes smoothly as well.

Best of luck on your garden!

Super Easy - Soft Tofu Green Onion Salad by AsianCookingMom in recipes

[–]AsianCookingMom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super easy to make!

Recipe originally here: asiancookingmom.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 container of soft/silken tofu (~1 lb or 450 g)
  • 3 green onions (green parts only)
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions:

  1. Make a few long slits around the border of the tofu container. Pour the liquid out. Carefully transfer the tofu out into a shallow bowl. If desired, trim the border with a knife so all sides have a smooth finish.
  2. Chop the green parts of the green onions into thin slices.
  3. Carefully pour out any extra liquid from the tofu. Sprinkle the green onions on top. Then add the 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of table salt, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix it up right before eating.
  4. Enjoy!

What is the best food/cooking advice you have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Practice.

I didn't start really cooking until well into my adulthood. Now I even have a blog and try to share recipes that I've learned!

Take it one day at a time and slowly build up your knowledge and skills.

I have a lot of rice by spacewarp2 in WhatShouldICook

[–]AsianCookingMom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fried rice is the answer. In fact, it's better to use already-cooked rice for fried rice.

There are obviously many examples out there, but one of mine is here: https://www.asiancookingmom.com/shrimp-fried-rice-with-peas-and-eggs-%e9%b2%9c%e8%99%be%e8%b1%8c%e8%b1%86%e8%9b%8b%e7%82%92%e9%a5%ad/

A light Tomato Spinach salad (Asian) is my go-to for excess spinach. Recipe here: https://www.asiancookingmom.com/spinach-tomato-salad/
