Sauteed organic spinach and braised arrowroot with roast pork ย and ‘nam yue‘. ย I singled out only 3-4 small pieces of lean roast pork and that’s my ration of meat for the day.

Arrowroot is usually seen in wet markets and supermarkets a few weeks leading to Chinese New Year. I cherish eating arrowroot as we only get to eat it several times in a year, usually only during Chinese New Year. We like braising it with roast pork or steam it alongside Chinese sausage. I used to like munching on deep fried arrowroot (‘ngar koo’) but I have ditched ย all deep fried foods a little over a year now…and feeling good ๐Ÿ™‚

If you think arrowroot is just carbs, you’ll be surprised to know that it is chock full of nutrients and health benefits! ๐Ÿ™‚
