I have leftover Carrot and daikon chicken soup, and found Chinese sausage. Decided to add to the soup. Bought broccolini and onion, so, I decided to cook the onion with my leftover eggs.

Google: “Daikon radish is known by a variety of other names, including lo bak, white radish, Chinese radish, Oriental radish and icicle radish. A Chinese turnip is more commonly known as a jicama. “

“Both daikon and Chinese turnip are a crisp textured vegetable that is low in fat and contains a number of essential nutrients. Daikon is milder in flavour and less peppery. When served raw, it’s mild and tangy, with a crisp and juicy texture. When cooked, it has a concentrated sweet flavour similar to cooked turnips.”

Google: “Broccolini, Aspabroc, baby broccoli or tenderstem broccoli, is a green vegetable similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks. It is a hybrid of broccoli and gai lan (which is sometimes referred to as “Chinese kale” or “Chinese broccoli”), both cultivar groups of Brassica oleracea. In the United States. Broccolini is a source of vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin K, folate and glucosinolates.”

Today, I am making leftover soup with a twist. I love to create, explore and enjoy colourful meals and soups. I am glad to get green vegetables and finished off the eggs with onion. My dinner is flavourful, colourful, comforting and delicious. Serve my soup, broccolini fried egg with rice. Let’s cook!!!
