    Oven-baked ‘Golubtsi’ Burgers

    These oven-baked patties are almost identical to the patties of Asa’s ‘Golubtsi’, which is described by Asa, a person who gave me the recipe, as a ‘lazy’ form of Cabbage Rolls.

    It is my daughter who introduced me the delicious drink ‘Lychee Tea’. Today I made it into a jelly dessert. ‘Lychee Tea’ is a sweet drink, but I added extra Sugar for this dessert.

    Grated Carrot is often used for sweet pancakes. I tried to make a savoury pancake today. The pancake turned very sweet because Carrot turns sweet when cooked.
