You may try “Mapo tofu” in Chinse restaurantbefore. Mapo tofu is a popular Chinese dish in the Szechuan province. This dish usually made of tofu and minced meat in a spicy chili- and bean-based sauce.
This time I used sweet potato instead of tofu and cooked vegan style.
Here is the recipe….

Kimchi (also spelled kimchee) is a traditional Korean vegetable pickles. Daikon kimchi is one of the popular variety and one of my favorite kimchi.
I like to eat kimchi in summer time when I do not have appetite.
Usually we add shrimp paste or fish sauce to make kimchi, but this time I use asian pear instead.
