Stir Fried Potato and Mushroom with Black Pepper

Stir Fried Potato and Mushroom

with Black Pepper

Today is the last day of Puasa Month (Fasting Month) for Muslims.

They will be celebrating Hari Raya tomorrow and my family

and I would like to take this opportunity to wish our Muslim friends

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri!

During the Puasa Month, our company will close at 4.00 pm and

our lunch of 1 hour will be shortened to 30 minutes.  Since we are not fasting,

it is very difficult to look for food within 1/2 hour.

So, we take turns to bring home cooked food to the office.  

This dish was cooked by me on Wednesday night for Thursday's lunch.

Even though this dish is meatless, my colleagues gave me a thumbs up.

As usual, they remind me to list this dish in my blog ;)

I did not weigh these ingredients because I was a bit tired. 

I reached home at 8.00 pm and cooked this dish straight away.

By looking at these pictures, I believe you will be able

to estimate it.

1/2 hand full of Spring Onion.

Shimeji Mushroom.

6 Australia Chat Potatoes.

6 cloves of Garlic.

Potatoes - Cut into quarter.

Shimeji Mushroom - Cut the bottom.

Spring Onion - Cut the white part away and cut into 2 inches.

Garlic - Minced.

Potatoes - Cook in salted water, drain and keep aside.

Heat up 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Add in minced Garlic, 3 teaspoons coarse Black Pepper and

1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce.

Remember not to burn the Garlic.

Stir until the Garlic slightly brownish.

Add in the Potatoes and Shimeji Mushroom.

Stir for 2 minutes.

Add in 1 tablespoon of Butter and stir until melted.

Add in Spring Onion and stir until well combined.

Add more Black Pepper or salt, if necessary.

Switch off the fire once the sauce is thicken and dry up.

While blogging this, my daughter told me that she secretly steal

some to taste and said it was flavourful.

My colleagues finished off the whole plate.  So happy to know
that they have enjoyed my home cook food.

Petai Sambal Tumis (Stinky Beans)

 Petai Sambal Tumis

Malaysian called it Petai. Some called it Stinky Beans. Scientific

name is Parkia Speciosa.  Well, to my husband, it is his favourite bean.

He can have it alone with his rice.  In fact, I cooked this especially for him

last few days ago.  Yeap! he finished it off without me telling him so.

All of three of us did not eat it except for the sambal tumis.

It is very easy to cook if you have the sambal tumis in hand.

1/2 cup of Dried Shrimp (wash and chop finely).

2 tablespoons of Sambal Tumis (click here for the recipe).

One handful of Petai (stinky beans).

 Heat the wok or pan with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.

Add the Dried Shrimps and dish out once it is cooked.

 With the same wok or pan, heat up 3 tablespoons of cooking oil.

Add the chopped garlic and stir fry for a few minutes.

 Before the garlic turn brown, add the Sambal Tumis and stir fry

for 3 minutes.  If it is dry, pour in more cooking oil.

Remember not to burn your Sambal Tumis like I did above.

I was doing something for a split second and it burnt slightly and thanks

goodness the sambal tumis is not bitter (taste burnt).

Then, add in the cooked Dried Shrimp and stir fry another 2 minutes.

Lastly, add the Petai (Stinky Beans) and stir fry until it is cooked.

Add salt to taste.

(Note : If you notice it is a bit dry, add in 1 or 2 tablespoons of water)

It is yummy to whom?  Of course, to my husband.

In fact, he had two bowls of rice.

Japanese Mushrooms and Prawns Omelette

Japanese Mushrooms and Prawns Omelette

My whole family love this dish unconditionally.

Easy to cook and yummy to eat.

Just difficult to do the washing only     :)

One packet of white and brown Shimeji Japanese Mushrooms.

12 pieces of Prawns.

Few stalks of Spring Onions.

3 pips of chopped Garlic.

All prepared and ready to be cooked.

6 beaten Eggs with dash of pepper and salt.

 Heat up the wok with some cooking oil and stir fry the chopped garlic.

 

Once the garlic is slightly brown, add in all the mushrooms and stir

fry the mushroom until soften.

 Add in the prawns and stir fry further.

 Once the prawns is pinkish in colour, then it is cooked.

 Dish up and keep at one side.

Add in the chopped spring onions into the beaten eggs and stir until combined.

Heat up your pan with some cooking oil and then scatter evenly the

pre-cooked japanese mushrooms and prawns.

Pour in the beaten eggs slowly onto the pan.

 When the eggs are cooked at the outer side or you can move the

egg batter, then you can flip to cook the other side.

 I did not do a good job on flipping to the other side    :(

Even though it does not look nice BUT the taste is delicious.

So, why wait more, go now and cook for your family.

They will enjoy this dish for sure.

15 Minutes - Stir Fried Long Beans With Broccoli

15 Minutes - Stir Fried Long Beans With Brocolli

Another 15 minutes dish for my dear daughter to bring to work. 

Since 10 am I did not utter one single word.  Don't fret out, I am not sick.

Because I am all alone in the house.  Husband went overseas,

son went to college and daughter went to work.  Anyway will be

having dinner with them in the evening.  Later must remember to text

my dear husband that I have washed and cleaned the bathroom

all by myself to kill my boredom while he is away and both my arms hurts.....   

:(   meaning that I have not been doing the washing and cleaning of bathrooms 

for many years.  All these years, it is the responsibility of my husband.

He is fanatic of cleanliness.....well, it is a good thing for me because

I do not have to do this tiring work   :)   ...he he he

Half handful of Long Beans - Wash.

Small size of Broccoli - Wash.

Cut the Long Beans into small pieces.

Cut the Broccoli in small pieces.

Heat up the wok with cooking oil.

Once heated up, pour in the Broccoli and cook for 1 minute.

Then pour in the Long Beans and cook further another 2 minutes.

Pour in half cup of water and cook the Broccoli with Long Beans push

at one side because Broccoli takes longer to cook. Once you notice or

tested that the Broccoli is cooked, then push back the Long Beans 

to the Broccoli and cook further for 1 minutes.

Pour in 3/4 tablespoon of Oyster Sauce.

Stir fry for a short while or until all cooked and then dish out.

Since I am cooking all these foods for my daughter to bring to work,

I think I am going to cook more for me to bring to work.

Something for me to ponder further since today I am all alone.

Have a nice wonderful weekend.
