About Me
Am from Hawai'i but work here in Okinawa. Okinawan food is terrific - soki, tebichi, goya, chanpurus, jirus, rafute. But at times I really do miss the foods of Hawai'i, those that I grew up with. So I cook things I miss, a mix of Hawai'ian local-style and simple Cantonese cooking. Pix of my granddaughter hamming it up at Jimbo.

When the daily outside temps get to be about 60, then I'll sow my cilantro seeds in a huge planter. Please keep us updated as your mini herb garden grows!
I love the chinese parsley, I can eat it raw with all my foods...good luck with these!
my parsley is doing fine survived the cold. basil on the other hand didn't. oh and my gajimaru tree looks to be dying also. :( can't wait to see your parsley!
Brought back Chinese mustard cabbage (gai choy) to try and grow here. Funny that isn't any at all, never seeing it in all the years I've been here.
I used to HATE Chinese Parsley as a kid. Now as an adult, I can't get enough of the stuff. Love it. Good for the blood stream.
Odd as this sounds, it's fantastic in a Tuna Sandwich.
I also add Cilantro whenever making Chinese style ginger "pesto", da'kine you put on top of cold ginger chicken.
Gosh, you mean Okinawa doesn't even have Gai Choy? I still can't understand the absence of Chinese foods there, when almost the entire foundation of their culture roots back to China as much as it does Japan.
pomai - Cold ginger chicken, another favorite of mine! Yah, strange about no Chinese parsley here. Have never seen it as a garnish on any foods here.
