Previous week harvest were white winter coloured-harvest theme. However, last week there is a dramatic change of colour theme harvest. Last week we got more purple produce harvest. Last week we harvested our most probably last batch of Lebanese eggplants which we deep-fried coated with tempura flour. We also harvested some Giant Purple Mustard, beans, carrots, snow peas, chilies, yellow cherry tomatoes, chinese celery and volunteer nicola potatoes. This year the weather is unusually cooler so I must have sowed our kailan (Chinese broccoli) late than it is supposed to be. So our kailan has shown the sign of bolting and we harvested them as baby kailan. Every Monday, Daphne host Harvest Monday where gardeners all around the world shows what they have harvested each week.
We usually like to stir-fry baby kailan with salted dried mackeral. This is a popular dish in Malaysia and has a place in every restaurant menu. Linking with Wendy's Garden To Table Challenge.
Stir-Fried Baby Kailan with salted dried mackeral
Ingredient:
Kailan/Baby Kailan (separated the hard stem and leaves)
Minced Garlic
Small cut pieces of salted dried mackeral (fried)
Cooking oil
Fish sauce
Oyster Sauce
Chili (optional)
Heat oil in wok. Saute Garlic. Add in kailan hard stem, chili and fried salted dried mackeral. When the stem is half tender, add in the leaves and stir-fry. Put in a bit of fish sauce and oyster sauce and stir well. Enjoy.

Love the veg harvest, but being a non-fish-eater I wouldn't like your recipe!
My first "Kaibroc" was harvested this week (cross between Kailaan and Broccoli). I'll be writing about it on my blog in a day or two...
