I don't know which of these dishes sounds best to me. I think I must have all three! Even if it's nearly winter where I live.

Such a lovely meal! I shall remember to eat more vegetables in the summer.

Just exquisite Anh! I have to tell you, I become saturated with the rich flavors of autumn so quickly - the leaves and stems of pumpkin appeal much more right now than the gourd itself! Never knew you could eat them, and I can't wait to try! I'll definitely be making this soup too - it looks utterly rejuvenating. Thank you so much!

What a satisfying meal this is, Anh!

You've used the black background to the utmost advantage, looks lovely! I was playing around with that, too, trying to get a last minute noodle shot... However, something livelier than dried noodles look much better on black!

Callipygia, thanks. Ya, you should srub off the little little bristley hairs. But the recipe I link to provides a good method to cook pumpkin leaves, too.

Andaliman, I crave for seafood lately. Perhaps the weather?

2007-11-20T12:47:00.000+11:00

oh the dishes look so good. I am going to try the tofu with fish sauce. And I imagine the pumpkin leaves tasting like larger pea shoots? Do you have to scrub off the little bristley hairs?

2007-11-20T11:51:00.000+11:00

Asha, thanks buddie!

Susan, this soup is really light. The veg really helps to cool things down.

LBH, I love fish sauce and kecap manis. They are essentials in my pantry.

Katiez, thanks so much. Pumpkin leaves are particular fav of mine in summer. It is just really good in my opinion!

Kalyn, thanks. You always encourage me greatly.

Lydia, what a pity

I love it, Anh. You;re a constant source of inspiration for me - Your use of exciting ingredients and unique approach to photography.

2007-11-20T08:21:00.000+11:00

Well, I don't know where to start.

First, your sensible mother's words (greens do cool you down - why are they always right, mothers?); then those snappy little pinky tails (so cute, Anh!) and thenyou give us a tofu and fish sauce dish to die for.

And I had no idea I could eat pumpkin leaves - another green to explore. Lovely. Just perfect for this incessant heat!

This is beautiful, Anh.

Wow Anh! What a fresh, lovely dinner. And, hats off to your mom for bringing such freshness to her table daily! Such lovely photos with beautiful back drops and like the others, those pumpkin leaves have my attention!

I have never tasted stir-fried pumpkin leaves -- what a lovely idea! As always, your photos are mouthwatering.

2007-11-20T03:12:00.000+11:00

Everything sounds just delicious, but I am especially intrigued by the idea of stir-fried pumpkin leaves. I always grow winter squash which has similar leaves, so I will have to try cooking them next summer. (And even when you say they are bad, your photos are always great!)

2007-11-20T02:59:00.000+11:00

Gorgeous photos, Anh.
I had no idea pumpkin leaves were edible - they are so huge it wouldn't take many of them for a meal....

2007-11-20T00:32:00.000+11:00

I agree! Fish sauce is magic, like kecap manis. I crave for simple food like that sometimes. And the glass pate you used in the last picture, looks like something my mum had. Nostalgia...

I love ginger in everything. What a light, clear, refreshing soup! It must be wonderful for summer even though it is served hot.
