Cooking sugar beets in rural China!

[@ARKADAS1965]

Your mother-in-law is so lovely, as someone who also has a lovely mother-in-law, I know how blessed you are. And she is blessed with a wonderful daughter-in-law :)

I found peace watching both of u. 保持微扬的嘴角。 微笑

[@kendyYus]

There's great satisfaction in growing your own food and even more so all the way to the finished product. And even better when it brings back memories like your mother in law said it reminds her of her childhood. Simply a joy to watch.

[@paecpc]

It’s so beautiful to see you having such close relationship with your mother in law, it’s very rare indeed. And watching your clips the past few months, your son has grown so big and adorable looking. He has more of your genes, he looks almost like a western kid, cute and lovable! Beautiful family, I envy and happy for you! Cheers!

Greetings from Dali, Yunnan!!! It is such a joy to watch your channel - I can tell you love it here!!!!!

[@catfish9868]

Jason Leung Looks like you have a very sad and ugly relationship with your family.

[@GoYvon]

In the city I lived close by when I was a child there was a sugar beet processing factory, I can still remember the distinct smell of the factory! We used the roots to make lanterns for November 11 (Dutch Halloween without the dressing up, but with the candy and singing song) as they were cheap and plentiful. Lots of farmers in my village grew them!

[@MiriamFollin]

oh, wow, that is so cool! I had never heard about that before! I had to google it - they look much scarier than pumpkin lanterns haha! But was it not hard to get them hollow? They are so had, inside and out! Not like pumpkin with a lot of seeds and softness in the middle! When I went to Uni in Sweden, I lived next to a factory as well! During wintertime it smelled terribly haha. Every time you were close with the train, you knew were home, because of the smell haha.

[@nikkiswenson54]

Miriam...Those are turnips! Beets are red and I grow them, too! I love turnips drenched in flour, salt and pepper and wrapped in bacon...baked...So yummy! Your recipe looks really very good too! I just love you and your family!

[@MiriamFollin]

Hi, if I see the translation correctly between English and Swedish that's not right! A turnip, at least what we call turnip in Sweden, is not so sweet. This is called sweet beet or sugar beet and we grow it in Sweden too, but only to make white sugar from it. So its not the normal red beet root. I haven't seen turnip in this part of China!

[@HenriTan]

I love the bonding moments you have with your in laws.

[@christinerobertson]

Ma in law always gets a thumbs up from me :) watching from London , UK. Please tell her I enjoy watching her and her calm manner. She definitely is an asset to your channel.

My husband uses the same kind of huge cleaver in the kitchen. So versatile. Great for chopping garlic.

[@MiriamFollin]

I know right it really can be used for everything! The best knife I know!

[@MiriamFollin]

In Sweden too! But I have never eaten them like this before.

I love the part in the garden. It’s beautiful! Please do more videos like this. It was relaxing to watch your beautiful life. Blessings to you and your family.

[@tylerwaxman7512]

Such a perfectly priceless family hour, wish all best to your family. 合子是北方老年人最喜爱做给家人的食品，在海外跟母亲通话时她最喜欢说的就是我回国来看望父母时她给我做合子吃。可惜上次回国见她身体不好我没敢叫她和面做合子，下回相信可以跟她一起做合子吃。

[@songrong55]

I have never seen this vegetable before and I am Chinese! And it was also the first time I knew about the Qinghai moon cake. Thank you Miriam for sharing these! Keep up the good work!

[@midwestmeiliguo]

I love your family, Miriam! Your mother-in-law is about the same age as me. I also grew up in China's countryside in the 60's and I know the hardships she has been through. I am just glad that life has improved so much now. Your baby is so cute! Your husband is so handsome and such a good daddy!

[@lindylindybasicoceangirl]

...oh please more of these cooking/baking/harvesting vids...so inspiring...I’m plant based and just convert ...am now addicted to Sichuan pepper-so it’s in everything haha...also huge carbon steel wok fan...love all your vids and tell your mom in-law her hair is gorgeous....

Your family must all have a green thumbs! The garden always looks healthy and the vegetables look big and delicious! ❤

[@lalannieknoll4456]

I also tried these sugar beets for the first time last month (in Ningxia Province). I walked past them and was curious and my friend translated it as sugar beet and I assumed it to be Chinese beetroot. I got excited as I love beetroot. The ones I got looked the similar to yours from the outside but were red inside. I steamed mine and once done they were a very light pink. I didn't think they were very sweet though as the ones I have had in South Africa / England were sweeter and we ate them as a salad. I ate some at work and my colleagues were surprised that I was eating it as is. They said that it is used to make sugar just like you mentioned. I didn't realize that they were referring to actual white sugar which now explains their shocked faces ;) I like the way your family prepares it and now I want to try the leaves as well.

[@EVAN2GM]

I love your sincere videos. I wish you and your whole family in China and in Sweden the best!!

[@Qwezzz-k8w]

Love your show Miriam, and your family. Yes, your baby is especially adorable. The root vegetable here, shape and color looks like parsnip to me. Parsnips are sweet. The ones we have in the US are not that large. I usually slice them and sauté them in butter with some salt and that’s all-Good to eat. Would love to try your parsnips wraps for sure!

[@MiriamFollin]

Not parsnip! That was my first thought when she pulled them up haha. We have a lot of parsnip in Sweden too. This is sugar beet (the beet to produce white sugar). I have never tried anything so sweet before!

[@bningthouja7103]

Your son is adorable!

[@FrantasticFood]

Love these cooking with your MIL videos. And I think Sugar Beets and just Beets are the same. There called Sugar Beach because of the high sucrose level and as a diabetic I know I should never eat them but I have to admit I really do love them - I just try to limit them. This recipe looks delicious though. Thanks for sharing!

[@bethbarclay855]

The cooking looks so good.

[@rosalindwong8778]

Sugar beet for soup. Today mother-in-law cooked my time mother-in-law sat and we cooked. Miriam u are so lucky.

I'm new to this channel, love your videos. Just wondering are you guys vegetarian?

[@user-fx8mz6qg6j]

Baby is so cute and the food looks delicious, but I don't know what the vegetable is. As a southern Chinese, I thought it was white radish,and do you want learn planting vegetables ,haha.

[@MiriamFollin]

It's sugar beet, very very sweet! And I have planted vegetables since I was a little kid, started out with carrots in my mums vegetable plot haha.

[@wind7519]

Hi Miriam! Great video as always. I was just wondering, if it's not too personal for me to ask, what your husband's ethnicity is? I know he's Chinese, but he also looks like he may have some other ancestry. He's from Qinghai, so I assume he may also be mixed with one of the many ethnic minorities there like the Mongols or Hui? Thank you for sharing these videos with us!

[@昭奚旧草-f3x]

He is Han .

[@windowpane]

The ones you wrapped has a lot more filling than the ones made by your mother in law LOL. Must be extra sweet.
