Asian

Chinese Cabbage for Lunch

May 17, 2011 By Leslie

Steaming the cabbage

Today I got a small head of Chinese cabbage from the farm. Rebecca says its “Blues” Chinese cabbage from Fedco Seeds. Fedco Seeds is her favorite seed company, both for their products as well as their vision. Fedco is a cooperative and offers a large selection of certified organic cultivars and regional heirloom varieties.

So back to lunch… I’m not a hardcore foodie, if I’m going to cook it’s got to be simple and easy, especially at lunchtime. I’m a fan of prepared condiments and sauces. In this dish I used prepared Chinese black bean sauce, and Sriracha hot chili sauce for a little spice (find both in the Asian section of your grocery store, Central Market in Poulsbo has a good selection.

Easy Chinese Cabbage with black bean sauce

  • Rinse and chop cabbage
  • Heat a small amount of water in a large pan
  • Add the cabbage and steam for a couple of minutes until it wilts and the most of the water cooks away
  • Add a couple of heaping teaspoons of black bean sauce and cook a minute or two more
  • Stir in a drizzle of sesame oil
  • Top with hot chili sauce to taste

For almost 10 years, Joe Brazeau was Persephone’ For almost 10 years, Joe Brazeau was Persephone’s go-to guy for everything from turning the compost to irrigation troubleshooting to relocating a tiny house. He shared his tools and his know-how with many years of interns and was a strong and light-hearted friend in the face of the myriad challenges of farming. The farm wouldn’t exist as it is today without his help, and he is dearly missed. RIP, Joe. Thank you for everything.
The season is starting to wrap up here at Persepho The season is starting to wrap up here at Persephone! High tunnels are coming down and the fields are clearing out. We’ve decided last week will be our final @bifarmersmarket of the year so we can prioritize our CSA. But, if you’re not a member, you can still find our offerings on @kitsapfresh every weekend for Wednesday pickup. 🍂🎃 #fallonthefarm #wintersquash #harvest
This Sunday! Come help us celebrate another summer This Sunday! Come help us celebrate another summer come and gone with games, friends, and flowers. And of course music by @thepurpleshadowsdanceband and Tide Flat Four!
🥶 Yesterday morning we opened the fridge to fin 🥶 Yesterday morning we opened the fridge to find that it had decided it would rather be a freezer. This affected not only our CSA harvest, but our restaurant, Kitsap Fresh, and food bank orders as well. This amounts to a lot of food and labor hours in the compost. We tried to salvage or replace what we could, but of course, if you received something damaged that we missed, please reach out!

We are so grateful to our subscribers and community members for being so understanding in the face of a hard situation. And of course, we are grateful for each other- our amazing team was able to still have a pretty successful day in the face of it all. #walkinblues #farmlife #earlyfrost
