Baby Mustard Greens Make Delicious Sizzling Rice Cakes

Rating: 3.9


Early in the morning, white fogs spread everywhere.

The sun already woke up but sun rays hide behind thick clouds.

A flock of geese fly westward.

Are they local or migratory birds?

By noon time, air temperature rises to 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

I put on winter jacket to visit my vegetable garden.

Young mustard greens are still growing in December.

There are greens, purples and green-purple Osaka.

They are all organic because I didn't add chemical.

So these young greens are perfectly natural.

These mustard greens started to grow by late summer.

They basked in the sun during the day

During the night they bathed in ivory moon light.

I harvest their young leaves every two weeks.

With sizzling rice cakes, they make a perfect autumn dish.

Translation of Vietnamese poem: Cải Non Ngon Với Bánh Xèo Mùa Thu,
NHIEN NGUYEN MD


CẢI NON NGON VỚI BÁNH XÈO MÙA THU


Sáng nay, sương trắng phủ đầy

Mặt trời đã dậy, nắng vàng sau mây.

Một đàn ngỗng nhắm hướng tây

Ngỗng này di tản, hay là bay quanh?

Gần trưa, nhiệt độ bốn lăm

Tôi mặc áo ấm để ra thăm vườn.

Mùa này, vườn có cải non:

Cải xanh, cải tím, cải Osaka.

Cải này, tôi chẳng bón phân

Thành ra lá cải trăm phần thiên nhiên.

Cải lên từ cuối mùa hè

Ngày thì tắm nắng, đêm về tắm trăng

Cải non hái mỗi hai tuần

Cải non ngon với bánh Xèo mùa thu.
