Hello, hiver friends! Yesterday, I came across a post about the new challenge on Hive, and I was so excited to join. The challenge is all about creating a dish with tofu, which we call “tokwa” here. I don’t have tofu in my fridge, so today I went a quick trip to the market to buy some tofu and also to get some water spinach, or "kangkong, as we call it. I knew this would be the perfect convention for the dish I had in mind. When I got home, my husband immediately asked me what we were having for lunch. I told him we would be having water spinach with tofu and a bit of minced pork. He was so excited and started asking me repeatedly what time lunch would be ready. I can see he was really looking forward to it.

While I was preparing the dish, he keeps on coming the kitchen and keep asking, Is this your new recipe? He was a bit surprise because this was the first time I was combine tofu with kangkong. He’s always been my number one fan when it come to my cooking, so I can tell he was genuine curious about how it would taste. I feel good to see him so interested and excited to try something new. When the dish was finally ready and we sat down to eat, my husband and I enjoyed it so much, and the kids finished everything on their plates, too. It was such a satisfying moment! My husband then asked me, “Why haven’t you cooked this dish in the last 10 years? I’ve never seen you mix tofu with kangkong before!” I told him it was because of a challenge I had joined in one of the communities on Hive. I explained that this was something new I was trying because of the challenge, and he laughed, saying, “Hopefully, the next cooking challenge won’t take you so long to get to. But I can see that the community is really helping you become more creative in the kitchen now. I’m so proud of you, babe. Thank you for the lunch!
His words made me smile and laugh. It was a simple but special moment that reminded me how much I appreciate his support. As for the dish itself, I have to admit, it was entirely my own idea! The original dish I intended to make didn’t quite come together because some ingredients didn’t arrive on time. But sometimes, when life doesn’t go as planned, it sparks creativity, and this dish was the result. It felt good to take something unexpected and turn it into a delicious meal. I’m really grateful for the opportunity to be part of this challenge, as it’s encouraging me to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. The community on Hive has been a huge motivator for me to keep trying new things in the kitchen, and I’m excited to continue sharing my culinary experiments with everyone. Who knows, maybe I’ll keep coming up with new dishes that I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. And next time, I’ll make sure I have all the ingredients I need in advance—well, at least I’ll try! But for today, I’m happy with how everything turned out, and I’m glad to have made something that made my family so happy.
