Napa Cabbage with Goji Berries

Yet another super simple dish. Adding goji berries to vegetables is a great way to increase your intake of antioxidants and to impart some sweetness to an otherwise savory dish.

Napa Cabbage with Goji Berries
Serves 2

- 6 leaves of napa cabbage
- 1 tbsp of goji berries

Wash and chop the napa cabbage into 1-2 inch pieces. Wash and soak 1 tbsp of goji berries in water. Heat 1 tbsp of oil and throw in the cabbage. Stir fry till the cabbage softens and the green turns into a livelier shade. Sprinkle some salt, add in goji berry with some water. Mix everything and serve.

Bitter Melon with Black Bean Sauce

See the title of this post? Those are the 2 ingredients you would need to make this dish. The most labor intensive part of this recipe is the prepping of the bitter melon. You would need to scrap out the spongy filling and the seeds with a spoon and slice the melon into thin slices.

Bitter Melon with Black Bean Sauce

- 1 large bitter melon sliced
- 1 and a half tbsp of black bean sauce

Heat up about 2 tbsp of oil in a wok. Throw in bitter melon and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add in black bean sauce and mix it into the melon. Add half a cup of water and braise mixture for about 5 minutes. Bitter melon should be tender but not completely limp.

If you want to make this into a one dish meal, you can add some ground pork into this dish.  I would cook the ground pork 1st before adding the bitter melon and adding some chilli sauce would kick things up a notch!
