Hello Steemit friends,
Welcome to my post and hope you are doing good today! 🌹 Today I would like to introduce a pancake made with cucumber with you, It's a traditional pancake from my grandma's home town Chaozhou, a city in the eastern Guangdong province of the China. We suppose to use loofah instead of cucumber in the traditional recipe but my grandma said the texture of cucumber is better than loofah. So we adjust the recipe and use loofah instead of cucumber. It's easy to make and taste very delicious~ This cucumber pancake is sweet and delicious with a satisfying crunchy peanuts in every bite.
Steemit的朋友大家好, 歡迎來看我的帖子~🌹 今天想跟大家介紹一個我外婆的拿手家鄉菜—水瓜烙，這道菜是潮州菜的代表之一，也是我們家下午茶常出現的小食，健康美味又簡單。這次我們用了黃瓜來代替了水瓜，外婆說水瓜太軟，黃瓜會比較有口感，也可以用白蘿蔔代替，吃起來又是另一種風味。軟腍口感的黃瓜餅配上香脆的花生真的是絕配。
