Black Bean Soup

 

Black beans are a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber, as are most other legumes. In addition to lowering cholesterol, black beans' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans an especially good choice for individuals with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as brown rice, black beans provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. You may already be familiar with beans' fiber and protein, but this is far from all black beans have to offer.

Stir fried french bean

Was at the veg stall this morning, saw these tiny beans.. unlike the normal french beans, these were much more thinner... so bought back some. It's more crunchy then the normal ones.

Cranberry Beans(珍珠豆)

Honestly its until day, i know the english name for these beans are called cranberry bean... since young, i only know we called it 珍珠豆 cause dad told us it look like pearl. Did a search online and realised it had an english name..

Cranberry bean are sweet and nutty and can be used to make a good soup be it using it with ribs or adding in other fruit to make it richer in taste.

I can't resist but to grab some home when i saw these beautiful beans laying around at the vegetable stall that i use to get my veg. I added in some lotus to enhance its favour.

It does tasted like peanut soup due to its nutty taste.

Mr sim gave a SMILE after drinking it... well of cause.... He can't resist "老火汤“ which had been simmer for 3hrs.

vegetable stew

Did vegetable stew with white cabbage, mushrooms ( chinese mushroom, straw mushroom), toufoo, meatballs, carrot
