Well it's been a while since my last post, but sometimes life just seems to take a detour and you just have to go with the flow. Last year was definitely full of detours for our family, nothing serious, but very time consuming. I am not going to bore you with the details, but lets just say I even learned how to build a house out of timber during the process.
My parent moved in with us for a few months last year as well. It was a wonderful experience, albeit challenging at times. And the biggest challenge was to adapt our respective eating habits to suit the other party. Strange don't you think, that I lived with them for such a big part of my life and did so much cooking while I was growing up, and yet our eating habits have drifted worlds apart since?
I am a very curious cook, always looking for new recipes, new styles of food to cook. I enjoy nothing more than challenging myself with a complicated dish that I have never tried. My favourites dishes sometimes evolve from opening the fridge and just cooking what is in there, trying something I have never done, mixing different flavours. And that is how this family staple happened too.
It is such a simple dish to put together and you don't need fresh litchis at all. In fact, it is much better with the canned version. The herbs are refreshing, without being overbearing. And this dish was a hit with my parents too.
