A brand-new round “apple gourd” braised silky with seared king oyster mushrooms and vegetarian tempura — pure Taiwanese summer sweetness. 圓滾滾的蘋果蒲瓜,配上煎香的杏鮑菇與素甜不辣,炖出最自然的清甜。

A deep-green wild bitter melon braised with golden-fried enoki and mock-meat mince — bitter, silky and endlessly spooned over rice. 山苦瓜薄片加上金針菇素料肉末,以海山醬燜煮的五分鐘下飯家常菜。

Turn dried chickpeas into silky, protein-rich chickpea tofu, fry it twice until the crust shatters, then toss it in a garlic-free spicy cumin sesame sauce. 把普通的干鹰嘴豆变成外酥里嫩的脆皮豆腐,再裹上香辣孜然麻酱,五辛无、纯素也好吃到停不下筷。

Roll-cut okra, hand-torn oyster mushrooms and one spoonful of Malaysian curry powder — a silky, ten-minute vegan stir-fry. 滾刀切的秋葵配上手撕秀珍菇,一匙馬來西亞咖哩粉,十分鐘炒出滑嫩濃香的純素家常菜。

Golden-seared tofu skin rolls stuffed with bok choy, shiitake and six-colour seaweed — crisp outside, juicy in, and they never fall apart. 金黃豆包捲著青江菜、香菇與六色海藻,外酥內嫩、煎不散,家常、便當、宴客都合適。

Three chilies, two pours of hot oil and one night of waiting — real Sichuan chili oil, made in a normal kitchen with an oven instead of a wok. 三种辣椒、两次泼油、静置一夜,用烤箱代替炒锅也能做出香浓红亮的四川红油。

Golden pan-fried diced potatoes tossed with chewy dried tofu, wood ear and sweet peppers, lifted by a whisper of curry powder — a thrifty Taiwanese home classic. 一顆馬鈴薯先煎到金黃,再和豆乾、木耳、彩椒炒出咖哩香。
