Came across these two recipes on the website. It’s a famous Taiwan delicacy. Not sure if the recipe works.

The sauce is the most important part of this recipe. If you know how to make the sauce or where to buy it, please let me know.

Also, what is 茼篙菜? Anyone knows its English name?

Summer vacation is already here. Planning for a trip but the gas price is skyrocking high? Below are 10 tips on how to get the best out of your pump during the travelling season.

1. Don’t drive aggressively: Quick starts, hard stops and aggressive driving can increase fuel consumption by up to 37 per cent.

2. Drive at the posted speed limit: Increasing your cruising speed from 100 km/h to 120 km/h will increase fuel consumption by about 20 per cent.

3. Don’t idle: When you let your vehicle idle longer than 10 seconds, you burn more fuel than you would restarting the engine.

4. Drive only when you need to: Leave your vehicle at home whenever possible by walking, biking, blading, carpooling or taking the bus to nearby locations.

5. Plan ahead: If you have to drive, plan the most fuel-efficient route in advance.

6. Use your vehicle’s air conditioner sparingly: Using your air conditioner in stop-and-go traffic can increase fuel consumption by as much as 20 per cent. Try opening the windows or fresh air vents to cool your vehicle.

7. Measure the inflation level of your tires once a month: A single tire under-inflated by just 56 kpa ( eight psi) can increase your vehicle’s fuel consumption by four per cent.

8. Use cruise control: On dry, flat wide-open highways, use cruise control, to help improve fuel efficiency by maintaining an even speed.

9. Maintain your vehicle properly: A poorly maintained vehicle consumes more fuel, produces higher levels of emissions, requires expensive repairs, and has a low resale value.

10. Safe driving is fuel-efficient driving.
