RE: GREEN PEA
mylife / precious_mummies / chermaine
According to the book, it says green pea. So when I went to Cold Storage, I bought the baby green pea (still green pea, but smaller size) from New Zealand. I am not sure about the Japanese pea, but my feeling is it's not the same thing. Better get those frozen one which say green pea. Haven't tried other supermarkets though, but sure have at Cold storage, from NZ and England one, I think.
Chermaine, when I lived in England and Australia, we bought fresh green pea, but it's also already poped out from the skin, never seen fresh whole green pea on the shelf. Maybe it's seasonal?
Again, according to the book, you don't have to defrost the pea before steaming, during steaming, it will defroze and steam. Most important is once defroze, have to use it or discard it, cannot keep anymore.
My son likes green pea, I tried it also, and it's quite nice
