This tale of Homemade Dry Salted Vegetables, or 自製干腌菜, started one sunny Hong Kong afternoon when we decided to take my little girl to a park (which shall remain nameless for reasons you will soon understand) which was not our usual neighborhood park. A small trip for our small family. A fun, though still hot and muggy, day spent in a magnificent old park. A refreshing sojourn amongst the green trees for us weary city dwellers.
As the twilight fell we were resting and eating ice cream on park benches when my 老公's sharp eye spotted something strange nearby. We sauntered over in the quickly fading light and discovered to our surprise, where once had been flower beds was now a bed of vegetables! How, you ask, did we know it was a vegetable bed?
Well, dear readers, there were little melon/cucumber looking vegetables snuggled amongst the vines! Why on earth these vegetables were growing in a prime spot of a Hong Kong park I know not, but I will admit (Sh! Don't tell anyone!) that two of these melon/cucumbers were tucked into our pockets as we left the park that day!
