oh my god your hair with the beanie........ i think you should give shoulder length a try, you look BOMB

[@ninahorn]

Yesss whenever her hair is in a style where it looks shoulder length it looks amazing but she always says she looks bad with that length when everyone else loves it!

[@jits1190]

Yesss she looks bomb and could maybe donate her hair after! She’s beautiful either way ☺️

[@wendrous9270]

"Bing" means pancake or cake (depends on the context) in Chinese so you can call it a scallion bing or scallion pancake! Scallion pancakes hold a special place in my heart as it's one of my favorite finger foods as a child (and still is now) so I'm really happy to see Grace dabbling more into Chinese cuisine!!! :)

[@MelissaThompson432]

There's something very satisfying about the idea of eating something called "bing." It's a much tastier word than "pancake."

[@chromeaces]

‘Gyo’ in gyoza is pronounced like the ‘kyo’ in Tokyo. Also the scallion pancakes are traditionally almost deep fried in shallow oil to get it more golden and crispy.

[@tlebreton279]

day 397 of trying to get Grace to pronounce this word properly

[@MJ-he1hf]

Problem is I think our Grace pronounces Tokyo "Toe-ki-yo" 😂💖

I have really been enjoying the editing style! Looove it!

[@emxxly]

wow can't believe you made chinese scallion pancakes (congyoubing)! I grew up on those as their a popular street food in Taiwan, so nice to see you trying traditional food I grew up with! You can even fry it with some egg, cheese, ham etc to make it like a savoury breakfast pancake and fold it up like a crepe. Also super impressed you made them from scratch, i've only ever bought them from market stalls or from frozen so props to you!!

[@ek.s.3140]

Hi! Could you please elaborate on the “add eggs or ham” do I first fry the pancake and then just use it like a tortilla wrap (for lack of a better analogy) or can the ingredients be added while cooking?

[@emxxly]

@@ek.s.3140 you'd first cook the pancake and remove it from the pan, scramble up some raw egg and pour that on the pan like a crepe, add whatever topping, then place the pancake pack on top the egg while its still half cooked so that they stick together, let it cook for a bit, flip and roll it up! found a vid that should help :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH6kg6t3Zq5pnNE

[@ek.s.3140]

@@emxxly thanks!!! Will def try, sounds amazing

[@johnnytsunami420]

Grace hi! When you make the scallion pancakes, to get a really nice flavor, first gently cook the scallions in the oil to make scallion oil and then pour the hot oil over the small bit of flour. This will partially cook the flour and give you a tastier filling and better texture! Also, when rolling out the dough (thought it may seem weird) use some excess oil on the table instead of flour. It's a fairly oil-y treat and flour can dry it out

[@jamesnbrenda8960]

Grace, Since your family are teachers, why not start teaching? Some type of Home Economic classes type things. I’m sure with your degree and passion you would have students that fall in love with cooking & baking!! You have so many ideas, thoughts, skills, and love for foods you would energize the whole room!! You are wonderful!! Brenda~

Same I made 10 brownie slices yesterday 4 were eaten in the first hour and I went to the kitchen this morning and they were all gone

[@peoplecallmeagoth]

Everything looks amazing!! The only thing I'd recommend for the scallion pancakes is to have fried them in a little more oil/smush the sides with some chopsticks or a spatula while cooking to create more flaky layers

[@harmonyhope1709]

That avacado salad with the broccoli and pomegranate seeds etc looked AMAZING!! Raw broccoli is actually OK you know (I think personally) ❤️

I could never bake in my dressing gown, just the flour on your sleeves makes me cringe at the thought. Its like having water on your sleeves after washing your hands.

[@ashleighrudman]

Ah Grace! My favourite salad at the moment is a raw broccoli salad with dried cranberries and almonds slivers. I was also against the idea of raw broccoli until I tried a good one. The trick is to cut the broccoli florets really small so they get a good coating of dressing . Super fresh and so healthy! Go look online for recipes. Love from Cape Town, South Africa

POMEGRANATE HACK: cut the pomegranate in half. Pull on the edges of the cut just a bit (to hear a CRACK or grack hehe) so that the seeds loosen up a bit. Then take a wooden spoon and a big bowl. Hold the pomegranate half face down in your hand and beat the outside part with the wooden spoon. You'll see that the seeds will start to pop out in no time. Not sure of my explanation mastery on this technique but I'm sure you can find a video on youtube on how to do it. I SWEAR it's by far the easiest way to de-seed the ole' pomegranate. Pls try it out, it's well worth it! Love you loads!

[@siennamilo934]

I love raw broccoli. my fav salad has raw broccoli almonds, crasins and this dressing with curry powder, salt, pepper, lemon and honey/sugar/maple syrup. Its sooo good.

[@jessicamayne3394]

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

Grace --- do you save your scraps? I've started using the carrot tops, onion peelings, zucchini skins, broccoli and asparagus stalks, etc. in a Zip Lock bag in the freezer .... I've even added some meat bones & the stuff that's left in the garlic press after you put garlic in a recipe. ANYWAY ... when I need stock or cooking liquid, I put all that in a pan covered with water & simmer it for an hour or two ... instant, FREE veggie stock that tastes really fresh & good!!! I don't use cucumber skins or things like that, but anything that would be good in a stew. Give it a try ... it's hard at first to remember NOT to throw that stuff in the trash, but just have a zip lock bag near you when you're preparing veg and throw it in the freezer.
