Scallion "pancakes"

How does one eat leftover mashed potatoes with a stir-fry?

Mix leftover mashed potatoes with some dry breadcrumbs (I used panko) and ginger-scallion oil.
Pan fry.
Eat, marvelling at the way they remind you of the real deal.

Creamy broccoli soup

I'm not usually a cream-of-whatever soup person, but this was easy and so delicious.

You need:
broccoli
onion
veg stock
almonds
miso
preserved lemon
salt and pepper
Sichuan chilli oil

Saute onions, add broccoli and stock and cook until soft.
Meanwhile, in a high-speed blender, puree almonds, preserved lemon and miso with a little bit of water.
When the broccoli is done, add to the blender and blend it up. You can puree it all, or leave some chunky. Finish with some chilli oil and pepper.
