One of the really fun things we did this Summer was discover all the things we could dye play silks with (tissue paper & food dye.) We had so much fun dying them and then playing with them. Recently we have been playing a with red cabbage water experiments - which made me think what play silks would look like dyed with these mixtures. And why limit it to cabbage water? In my cupboard we also decided to play with turmeric, paprika & beetroot. Here is my little chemist ready to mix away to her hearts content with the cabbage water. The pink glasses are her safety goggles ..... Cabbage Chop up red cabbage and add some bit water. Bring the the boil and simmer until cabbage is pale. Split the cabbage water into two pots. Add silk scarf and soak for 30mins to one pot. In the other pot add some vinegar - the mixture will turn dark pink - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Once your silk scarf has finished soaking in the first pot. Remove the scarf and add in baking soda (the mixture will turn greeny blue) - add silk scarf & soak for 30mins. Note: Cabbage water changes color depending on its PH. When they were washed & dried the colors became much less vibrant. Silks soaked in with cabbage water before washing Turmeric Mix turmeric & water - bring to the boil - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins Paprika Mix paprika & water - bring to the boil - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Beetroot Boiled 3 chopped up beetroot in some water for about 40mins- puree everything together - add silk scarf and soak for 30mins. Cabbage Water = Soft Purple Cabbage Water + Vingear = Soft Pink/Purple Cabbage Water + Baking Soda = Silver Blue Paprika = Gold (honestly - it is a gorgeous gold hue) Beetroot = Cream Turmeric = Bright Bright Yellow (just look at that yellow!! See below.) Note: After we had soaked the silks I dried them on their own on the hottest setting on our tumble dryer (sanitize) and then put them on their own through a 20mins cold wash (no detergent) and dried them again on the hottest setting. I'm not sure we have anymore space for playsilks in our dress up box. I am playing with the idea of making a quilt from these.

Dried bean curd sticks make a fantastic vegan or vegetarian store cupboard supper. It might be surprising that all the main ingredients are dried in this incredibly flavoursome recipe - typical of many Chinese dishes. The highlight is bean curd - or beancurd or tofu - 'skin', which takes on the flavour of the braising liquid and has an intriguing almost omelette-like chewiness. The two different types of mushrooms in the recipe bring deep umami flavour, as well as adding another dimension of texture. It makes a quick, delicious and satisfying Chinese vegan meal. What is dried bean curd skin? Bean curd skin is the skin that forms on the top of soy milk when it is being made. The skin is skimmed off and dried to make dried beancurd skin. Sometimes it is sold in whole sheets to make dumpling wrappers, but it can also be rolled into sticks. Dried bean curd skin in the form of sticks is often considered a substitute to meat, however it is great used alongside beef or lamb in other slow-cooked dishes for a contrasting texture. What are the health benefits of dried bean curd skin? Dried bean curd skin is a fantastic meat alternative, soaking up rich umami flavours from soy sauce and mushrooms in Chinese stocks. Like tofu it is high in protein, low fat, high fibre and rich in vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins and magensium. Soy-based products are famous for helping to lower cholesterol. They are also high in isoflavones which are thought to reduce the risk of breast cancer and reduce the risk of osteoporosis post menopause. Cooking and serving the bean curd skin recipe The recipe takes around 25 minutes, of which much of the time is spent just leaving the ingredients to rehydrate, or simmer. Serve with a side of steamed rice, and perhaps some quick steamed greens or fried green beans with garlic. Different brands of bean curd skin sticks come in different lengths and thicknesses, and so soaking time might be different. Just check the beancurd skin is soft before you drain it. Also be sure to use sliced shiitake mushrooms - the cooking time will be much longer for whole shiitake mushrooms. Tested 23rd Jan 2020 by Nicola

One thing I love about Chinese cooking is the fantastic spices that are used, I remember first coming across star anise and thinking it was one of the coolest spices I had ever seen and that was before I had even tasted it! If you haven’t used it before, don’t be put off, it’s really
