I’m writing this in pain. Pain from my wisdom tooth extraction I had end of last week. Pain from the construction work going on in our building because the management is replacing the lift and this somehow only can be done by using an air hammer of some sort for 6 hours straight. As construction work and tooth pain isn’t enough. Our newest addition to the family, the three-legged cat named ‘Monkey’ was recently introduced to the whole flat and our other two cats. Since then he’s been meowing and howling and yowling non stop. I understand he is afraid and scared but yap, my nerves are raw. I can only now imagine what it means to have a baby, though the comparison to tooth pain and construction work is slightly (read very) unfair.

But in all honesty, what do you do when you yourself feel bad but you can’t really heal because your surrounding is so demanding and noisy and distracting? Well, I for my part turn on some cat music (yes, there are people like David Teie who compose music for cats to calm them down), close the kitchen door behind me and start to cook. I’ve talked before about the therapeutic effect of kneading, rolling, frying, drizzling and brushing but in stressful times like these I appreciate the process of cooking and baking even more.

I go through my trips in my head again, thinking of the places I ate at, the food I enjoyed or the dishes I smelled. Strangely enough I haven’t thought about China or Hong Kong much lately. I mean i think about them all the time because I used to live in Hong Kong for almost two years but I haven’t though about their foods. So the other day when I went through my Stories I saw Sneh of Cook Republic making Chinese pancakes and that’s when it hit me. I’m not kidding but when I lived in Hong Kong, Chinese pancakes were one my my favorite fast foods.

I’m honestly surprised at myself that i haven’t tried, let alone thought about them for such a long time. I used to visit Mr. Bing on a weekly basis, even though they do make slightly different pancakes from another region in China. I recently saw that they opened some locations in the USA, in NYC. So if you are at least vegetarian and would like to have some Northern Chinese food, go visit them and thank me later 🙂

Back to my Chinese Scallion Pancakes. They are also known as Spring Onion pancakes. Or Green Onion pancakes. Usually served as an appetizer with some dipping sauce, I like to eat them fresh out of the pan with a green salad. My boyfriend prefers to have his as a quesadilla. Simply fry two pancakes, add some grated yellow cheese (or even minced meat) on top of one pancake, then top with the second one, press together with a spatula and fry until cheese is melted.

Scallion Pancakes (Chinese term is Cong You Bing) are widely know in China and its popularity similar to doughnuts in the US and pizza in Italy. It tasted a little like other Asian flatbreads such as naan but the addition of chopped scallion as well as the rolling and coiling method makes this a very nourishing and flaky fried dough.

CHINESE SCALLION PANCAKES (CONG YOU BING)
Author: Kati
Prep time: 60 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Total time: 1 hour 30 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • Pancakes
  • 2.5 cups / 300 g white flour
  • 1 cup / 240 ml warm water (I mixed 1/2 cup hot with 1/2 cup cold water)
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • a small bunch / 1 cup / a handful of spring onions (scallions) but use only the green part
  • 1 tbsp sesame (or other nut or vegetable oil)
  • High smoke point oil for the pan like grapeseed oil, about 8 TL
Instructions
  1. To make the dough, add flour to medium bow. Slowly pour in warm water, stirring until it forms a shaggy dough.
  2. Dust your hands with flour, knead the dough until it’s even and smooth for about 5 min.
  3. Form a ball, coat it with oil and cover bowl with damp cloth and let it rest for 30-60 min.
  4. In the meantime, finely chop the bunch of scallion greens and prepare a small bowl with salt.
  5. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll out each piece either on a floured or oily surface, into a thin rectangle. Make it as thin as possible without tearing the dough.
  6. Lightly brush the dough with oil, sprinkle with salt and top with chopped scallion greens.
  7. Roll up the rectangle from one of the long sides, creating a long rope.
  8. Cut dough rope in half, take one of the half and gently pull rope to stretch it and make it longer.
  9. Coil the rope until you have a flat circle. Repeat for the 7 other ropes and let them rest for 15 min.
  10. Roll out the coiled circle to a flat and even pancake. Either use a rolling pin or your hands.
  11. Heat a heavy skillet or pan over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of oil and cook one pancake at a time, for about two minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  12. Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve with soy sauce or any other dipping sauce. I love to serve them with spicy sesame seed oil.

I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too. Though I’m also enjoying Malmö‘s autumn cold at the moment 💛  #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #appetitejournal #theartofslowliving #eattheworld #cntravelereats #kinfolklife #gatheringslikethese #teamcanon #mycommontablefood
Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea sna Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea snaps, edamame, pesto and basil - the first attempt of many more to come. Have you ever made skillet pizza? It looks super easy but mine collapsed when I tried to put it into the hot cast iron pan. But the taste is still super delicious. No need for a pizza stone 💁🏻‍♀️😄

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May. Also, I just wanted to let you know that my favorite Lightroom Preset Bundle is 50% off for the next three days (link in profile @blackwhitevivid ). Happy Editing & Happy Sunday 💛

Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another photoshoot in the desert, another favorite set of photos. Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
