15 Minutes - Stir Fried Tomato, Carrot & Egg

15 Minutes - Stir Fried Tomato, 
Carrot & Egg
Yesterday night, my dear daughter told me that she prefer to have bigger food portion.
So, today I am increasing her food portion....is it my food is delicious or
she has became a big eater???
To those who are carnivore, you won't like it but those who are
herbivore, you will definitely like it.

  
4 Eggs.
One Carrot - Peel, Wash and julienne.
3 Tomato - Wash and cut into small pieces.
My daughter does not like garlic, thus I did not put in all my 
"15 Minutes Food" dishes.  If you like it then by all means put it.



Heat up the work with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.


Beat the eggs with dash of soya sauce, salt and pepper.
Cut Tomato and julienne Carrot.


Pour in the carrot.


Stir until the carrot is soft, around 3 minutes.


Then pour in the tomato.


Stir until all are soft.


Pour in the beaten eggs and let is stand for 2 minutes.


Turn over to the other side.  You will notice that bottom of the cooked 
eggs are not  hard but soft.  Please do not freak out because tomato has
liquid, thus the food is wet.


Cook further and keep on turning there and then.


If you notice that there are some liquid, just dish it out.
But if you prefer this dish to be wet, then no need to dish out the liquid.


Once it is slightly dry, turn off the fire and dish out.


Isn't it is lovely?


This is my dear daughter's meal for today.
About paper bag, the following paper bags she bought along
together with those food that I cooked for her :-
Tuesday - Nike
Thursday - Pepe Jeans
Friday - Charles & Keith
Saturday - Louis Vuitton
Sunday - ??? (waiting for her instruction)

My son said she is crazy.
Yeap! She is one girl who is crazy about paper bags.
To me is a good thing, as long as she is not crazy about boys,
if not, I will definitely "pengsan terus" (immediately faint).

15 Minutes - Stir Fried Eggs With Mushrooms

15 Minutes - Stir Fried Eggs With Mushrooms
Once you lay your eyes on this dish, sure you will be salivating.
Woke up this morning at 6.00 am to cook this dish so that
my dear daughter can bring to work.
You must be wondering why she is not eating at her work place?
Reason is that she is trying to refrain herself from eating meats
(not all meat except for fish) and the Vegetarian Stall in the food court 
is under renovation.


One handful of Mushrooms (around 150g) - Wash and cut the bottom.
3 Eggs.

Note : Nowadays, market is selling very cheap on this kind of mushroom,
RM5.00 for two packets.  This one is white in colour and the other 
mushroom on my previous recipe is brownish in colour.



Beat the Eggs with 1 teaspoons of Pepper and 1 teaspoons of Soya Sauce.
Remember to drain the water from the cleaned Mushrooms.


Heat up the wok with 1 tablespoon of  cooking oil.


Pour in the Mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes and 
sprinkle with dash of Pepper and Salt.


Then pour in the beaten Eggs and let it cook for 2 minutes.


Turn over the Eggs and cook further.


Once it is cooked, I used spatula to cut it into pieces so that it is 
easier for my daughter to eat. 


See, even the Kiwi bird is eyeing on my cooked food.
Ha ha ha......this kitchen towel bought by my dear colleague,
Irene Lee from New Zealand.

Lastly, my family and I wishing all Hindu "Happy Deepavali".

15 Minutes - Stir Fried French Beans, Ladies Fingers & Mushrooms

15 Minutes - Stir Fried French Beans, 
Lady Fingers And Mushrooms
There is a reason why I call this 15 Minutes Food.
In the morning, my daughter was getting ready for work and 
I asked her whether she wanted me to cook anything for her to bring
to work.  She said she has no time to wait for me to cook.
I said it will be a simple dish which take me less than 
15 minutes since I have some ingredients inside the fridge 
and then she is willing to wait.  Without hesitation, I quickly
fly to my lovely kitchen to start preparing and cooking.


One handful of French Beans - Wash and cut.
One handful of Lady Fingers - Wash and cut.
One handful of Mushrooms - Wash and cut the bottom.


Heat up the wok and 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil.


Pour in the French Beans, Lady Fingers and cook
for less than 3 minutes.


Then pour in the Mushrooms.


Cook until it is cooked.


Pour in 1/2 tablespoons of Oyster Sauce.


Cook until the sauce is slightly dry and turn off the fire.
Dish out.


You can eat it with rice but my dear daughter 
prefer to eat it without any rice.
Sure my daughter must be thinking about me while
she is enjoying this dish during her break time.
:)
Another few more months, she won't be
working at The Borders, The Gardens, Mid Valley
because she will be starting her Bachelor of Laws.

Steamed Fish Balls & UFO Balls

Steamed Fish Balls & UFO Balls
I did this dish for my daughter and my lunch today.
My daughter and I had this dish with my favourite
Maggi Assam Laksa.  Very simple and easy to make.
This morning I sent my husband to the airport. He's flying to Bangkok
and coming back next Thursday and then the next day flying
off again to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam  with me for a holiday.
After a few days we will come back from Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam,
and off he will go again to Guangzhou, China.
My dear colleague Elly Chong said that we drive to work but
my husband board plane to work.  Ha Ha Ha, he is not
a pilot but a businessman that needs to travel very often 
locally and overseas.  My son has been having weekends
college classes these past few months and this evening we'll be 
meeting him  for dinner in Rakuzen, Empire Subang.



20 pieces of Fish Balls.
20 pieces of UFO Balls (I do not know the name and my
children always called it UFO Balls. To Malaysian
Chinese, you will know what I mean since the shape is like UFO)



Lay all the Fish Balls and UFO Balls nicely into a plate.



Boil the wok with water with high fire.



Once the water inside the wok is boiling rapidly,
put in the plate with the Fish Balls & UFO Balls and
steam for 7 minutes (depends on your fire).  
Do not over cook, if not your Fish Balls and UFO Balls 
will be harden.  Once done, take the plate out from the wok.
Sprinkle with garlic oil and dash of soya sauce.
Serve immediately.



My daughter and I finished this whole plate with my
Maggi Assam Laksa Noddle.  You can eat it with your 
piping hot rice or Fried Rice.  The choice is yours.
Happy Cooking & Eating And Hope You Have A
Wonderful  Weekend!

Long Bean & Chinese Sausage Rice

Long Bean & Chinese Sausage Rice
The majority of Chinese households will cook this dish and
different household will put in different ingredients.
In this recipe, I incorporated Long Beans and Chinese Sausages only.
There's a Chinese saying called "Yat Wok Suk" which means 
"everything cook in one pot" which in this case, is a rice cooker. 
Since two weeks ago, I have been leaving my office at 
around 8.30 pm to 9.00 pm and reach home before 10.00 pm.
I feel so guilty towards my family for working so late but 
what to do when there's big responsibilities and 
they come at the last minute.
This dish is my family favourite and  I cook this dish today
with love and a way to thank them for being understanding. 


250g Long Beans.
350g Rice.
160g Chinese Dried Sausages.


Discard the string from the Chinese Dried Sausages and
place in a plate.


Pour in hot water and leave it for 5 minutes.


Take out the edible skin from the Chinese Dried Sausages.
The choice is yours if you prefer to eat the skin.


Cut the Long Beans and Chinese Dried Sausages
into your desire sizes and leave at one side.


Wash the rice until the water comes out clear.
Pour in tap water (800ml).

Note : Measurement of the water to cook the rice 
depends on your rice.  Remember to put more by
around 100ml since you have other ingredients to be cooked
inside the rice cooker.


Then pour in the cut Long Beans and Chinese Dried Sausages.


Lastly, pour in 2 tablespoons of Soya Sauce, 
1 tablespoon of Dark Soya Sauce, dash of pepper and
dash of Sesame Oil.  
Switch on the rice cook and cook it until done.  


When the rice is 3/4 cooked, open up the rice
cooker lid and use the rice spatula and mix the rice
thoroughly and cook until done.


Am I right? So easy to cook and delicious to eat.
Happy Cooking and hope you have a wonderful weekend
with your family.
