The other day i bought this cheap fennel from Tesco before i figure out what to cook with this new veggie. First i try to taste the raw fennel, it has very strong taste than leek or celery, i don't know how to describe the taste..Thus i came to this idea using sweet soy sauce to reduce the strong taste..
After cooked, the fennel taste became mild and since i just had it quick stir-fry, it was crunchy and sweet..not bad the taste. Anyway, my kids were not appreciate this veggie much..
