🥬 Asian-Style Napa Cabbage Rolls with Mushroom & Eggplant Filling 🥢
Tender napa cabbage leaves wrapped around a savory filling of mushrooms, eggplant, and jasmine rice, pan-seared until golden and coated in a rich ginger-soy sauce. A delicious plant-based twist on classic cabbage rolls! 😍
Ingredients
For the cabbage rolls:
❤️ 10–12 napa cabbage leaves
❤️ 1 medium eggplant
❤️ 16 oz (450 g) mushrooms
❤️ 1 cup (190 g) cooked jasmine rice
❤️ 3 green onions
❤️ 4 garlic cloves
❤️ 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
❤️ 1½ tbsp soy sauce
❤️ 1 tsp maple syrup or agave syrup
❤️ 1 tsp rice vinegar
❤️ 1–2 tsp sesame oil
Neutral oil, for cooking
For the sauce:
❤️ 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable broth
❤️ 5 tbsp soy sauce
❤️ 1 tbsp maple syrup
❤️ 2 tsp rice vinegar
❤️ 1–1½ tsp sesame oil
❤️ ⅛ tsp dried ginger
❤️ 2 tsp cornstarch
❤️ 2 tbsp (30 ml) water
👩🏻🍳Preparation
1️⃣ Prepare the cabbage: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the napa cabbage leaves and cook for about 1 minute, until softened and flexible. Drain carefully.
2️⃣ Cook the eggplant: Finely dice the eggplant and sauté it in a pan with a little neutral oil for 8–10 minutes, until soft and lightly golden. Transfer to a plate.
3️⃣ Sauté the mushrooms: In the same pan, cook the mushrooms until their excess moisture has evaporated and they begin to brown. Add the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and chopped green onions. Cook for another minute.
4️⃣ Finish the filling: Return the eggplant to the pan. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, and rice vinegar. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, then fold in the cooked jasmine rice and mix well.
5️⃣ Roll the cabbage leaves: Place some filling near the base of each leaf. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
6️⃣ Pan-sear the rolls: Heat a little oil in the pan. Place the rolls seam-side down and sear until golden, turning carefully to brown several sides.
7️⃣ Make the sauce: In a saucepan, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and dried ginger. Simmer for 1–2 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the water until smooth, then stir it into the sauce. Cook until thickened and glossy.
8️⃣ Serve and enjoy: Pour the warm sauce over the cabbage rolls and finish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
✨ The Result:
Tender cabbage, a hearty mushroom-and-eggplant filling, fragrant ginger, and a glossy, savory-sweet sauce. A comforting, flavor-packed plant-based meal with a delicious Asian-inspired twist! 🥢

🍯 17th-Century Honey Mead – A Recipe from 1669 🌿
This historic honey-based fermented drink is adapted from Sir Kenelm Digby’s 1669 recipe, traditionally associated with Queen Henrietta Maria. Made with honey, ginger, cloves, and fresh rosemary, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the flavors and brewing traditions of the 17th century.
Ingredients:
❤️ 10 oz (285 g) honey, by weight
❤️ 5 g fresh ginger, thinly sliced
❤️ 1 whole clove
❤️ 1 small sprig of fresh rosemary, approximately 1 inch long
❤️ Water to make 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) total
❤️ 1–1.5 g Lalvin ICV D47 yeast, approximately ¼ packet
Preparation:
1️⃣ Warm approximately 15 cups of water and stir in the honey until completely dissolved.
2️⃣ Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
3️⃣ Add the sliced ginger, whole clove, and rosemary. Continue to boil gently for one hour.
4️⃣ Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain out the spices and transfer the liquid into a thoroughly sanitized one-gallon fermentation vessel.
5️⃣ Add clean water until the total volume reaches one gallon. Add the yeast according to the instructions on its packet and mix gently.
6️⃣ Fit the vessel with an airlock and allow fermentation to proceed.
7️⃣ Once fermentation is complete and hydrometer readings remain unchanged over several days, the mead can be bottled.
🍃 A Taste of History
Honey provides the base, ginger adds gentle warmth, cloves bring a distinctive aromatic note, and rosemary contributes a subtle herbal character.
This is a traditional alcoholic honey ferment. Proper sanitation and confirmation that fermentation is fully complete are essential before bottling.
A recipe that brings the flavors and brewing traditions of another century into the present day. 🍯

🥒🌶 Cucumber Ribbon Salad with Crispy Chilli Dressing
Fresh, crunchy cucumber ribbons meet a savory, sweet, and spicy dressing in this simple Asian-inspired salad. It looks beautiful on the table, takes just a few minutes to prepare, and becomes even more flavorful as it marinates. ✨
Ingredients
❤️ 🥒 4 cucumbers
❤️ 🥄 ½ cup soy sauce
❤️ 🥄 ¼ cup mirin or water
❤️ 🌶 2 tbsp crispy chilli oil (adjust to your preferred spice level)
❤️ 🍯 1 tbsp honey
❤️ 🌱 1 stalk green onion, finely minced
❤️ 🧄 ½ clove garlic, minced
👩🏻🍳Preparation
1️⃣ Prepare the dressing: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin or water, crispy chilli oil, honey, minced green onion, and garlic. Stir well until everything is evenly mixed.
2️⃣ Make the cucumber ribbons: Wash the cucumbers and use a vegetable peeler to shave them lengthwise into thin ribbons. Avoid the watery, seedy centre, which can make the salad soggy.
3️⃣ Create the spiral: Stack the cucumber ribbons on top of one another, then gently roll them into a spiral. Arrange the spiral in a shallow bowl or serving dish.
4️⃣ Add the dressing: Pour the dressing evenly over the cucumber ribbons, making sure they are well coated.
5️⃣ Let the flavours develop: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so the cucumbers can absorb the sweet, salty, garlicky, and spicy flavours.
💡 Tip:
For a milder salad, reduce the amount of chilli oil. If you prefer a more intense flavour, let the salad marinate a little longer, keeping in mind that the cucumbers will soften as they release water.
A refreshing, crunchy side dish with a delicious balance of heat, sweetness, and umami. 🥒🌶

🥒 Classic Fermented Pickles – Naturally Sour, No Vinegar Needed! 🧄🌿
Long before vinegar became a common pickling ingredient, cucumbers were preserved through natural fermentation. Their characteristic tangy flavor develops as lactic acid bacteria transform natural sugars into lactic acid in a saltwater brine.
Ingredients (for one 1-gallon jar, approximately 3.8 liters):
❤️ 🥒 2 bags of pickling cucumbers, thoroughly washed
❤️ 🧄 A large handful of garlic cloves
❤️ 🌿 A large handful of fresh dill Celery
❤️ 🧂 Salt: 4.5% of the weight of the water Spices of your choice
❤️ 🍯 A splash of honey (optional) A few bay leaves
Preparation:
1️⃣ Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut off the blossom end of each one. This end contains enzymes that can contribute to softening during fermentation.
2️⃣ Prepare the brine separately. Dissolve the salt in the water, using 4.5% salt based on the weight of the water. Add your chosen spices and a little honey, if desired.
3️⃣ Build the jar in layers: start with garlic, fresh dill, and celery, followed by the cucumbers. Repeat the layers, packing the cucumbers snugly.
4️⃣ Pour the brine over the cucumbers until they are completely submerged. Place a few bay leaves on top.
5️⃣ Allow the cucumbers to ferment at room temperature. Around seven days can be a starting point, but the actual time depends on the temperature and fermentation progress.
6️⃣ Keep the cucumbers fully submerged throughout fermentation. Once properly fermented, transfer the jar to the refrigerator.
Why Does This Recipe Work Without Vinegar?
Natural fermentation is driven by lactic acid bacteria naturally present on vegetables. The salt creates an environment that favors these bacteria while helping suppress many undesirable microorganisms. As fermentation progresses, lactic acid develops, giving the pickles their distinctive sour flavor.
💡 Tips for Crispier Pickles:
Remove the blossom ends, keep the cucumbers completely submerged in the brine, and use clean fermentation equipment.
Monitor the fermentation carefully. Seven days at room temperature is only a guideline, not a guarantee that fermentation is complete or safe. Do not taste pickles showing signs of spoilage, such as fuzzy mold or an unpleasant rotten smell. Once fermentation is complete, keep them refrigerated.
Enjoy the crisp, tangy flavor of naturally fermented pickles! 🥒🌿
