When I reviewed a new recipe, I expected the result to be mild in flavor. However, when I had a bite into the finished product from two attempts, there was a scorched garlic taste. Below are some links to more details, including photos: My Story Though I’ve always enjoyed eating Chinese okra, aka sponge gourd,…

Sometimes, choosing an ingredient over another for convenience isn’t the best idea. After the first try of a new recipe, I planned ahead by stocking the kitchen cabinet with some chicken broth. During the second attempt at the recipe with the new ingredient, the dish was much more flavorful! Below are some links to more…

![Amazing! This Is Now Less Bitter Than Before.](https://undumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Vietnamese_bitter_melon_stir-fry_eggs.jpg)
When I was a child, I often ate bitter melon stir-fried with beef and black bean sauce at home. Because of the bitter flavor, I didn’t like the melon. Surprisingly, when I tried cooking this gourd differently last month, it was actually decent! Below are some links to more details, including photos: My Story When…

![Had Much Better Results in My Second Attempt](https://undumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Easy_bok_choy.jpg)
During my childhood, I regularly ate stir-fried bok choy with garlic. Aside from the garlic, I didn’t taste much flavor from the vegetable. Regardless of my experience, I still decided to try a similar recipe, first using baby bok choy and later with Shanghai baby bok choy. What I preferred was definitely the latter! Below…

![Here Is the Advice: Roast Longer or Don’t Roast](https://undumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Roasted_opo_squash.jpg)
Previously, the only way I cooked opo squash (aka Chinese long squash) was to throw it in a soup. However, I decided to look for a recipe recently and found one for roasting. After trying this new method twice, I think opo squash would taste better when most of the liquid is extracted from it…

![Enough of the New Cabbage With Vinegar And Ginger](https://undumbing.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Stir-fried_Taiwanese_cabbage.jpg)
I really wanted to add this new vegetable to my rotation, but cooking it with a combination of rice vinegar and ginger didn’t lead to a flavor that I was crazy about. Maybe I’ll find another recipe. Below are some links to more details, including photos: My Story At a local supermarket, I saw Taiwanese…
