My family loves eggs and I used to use eggs in many different dishes. If you want to have a look at how I cook eggs in different ways, do click at the EGGS LABEL and give one or 2 of these recipes a try. Chinese Violet Omelette is also one of our favourite omelettes. To know more about this Chinese Violet, I have the info posted under the Chinese Violet Omelette post.
Besides omelette, dessert with Chinese Violet is very refreshing. Here's one Healthy Chinese Violet Jelly, in case you are interested.
Mixed Chinese Violet Omelette is another omelette but with additional ingredients. Hope you like it.
Ingredients :
- a handful of Chinese Violet (washed and drained)
- 5 eggs (beaten with a dash of salt)
- some shredded carrots
- 1 fish cake (sliced)
Seasonings : (to taste)
- soy sauce
- Chinese cooking wine
Method :
1) Heat oil in a pan. Stir fry shredded carrots and sliced fish cake for a while.
2) Push aside and pour beaten egg into the pan. Let it set, stir and add Chinese Violet.
3) Stir and mix well all the ingredients.
4) Turn off the heat and drizzle some soy sauce and Chinese cooking wine to taste.
5) Dish out and serve with porridge, steamed rice or toasted bread.
This is so simple and easy to prepare.
Have it with toasted bread too :)

DeleteHi Ivy, Interesting posts using Chinese Violets. I have eaten them when I was young, my late mum used Chinese violets to make soup. But now I have no idea where I can buy Chinese Violets.
ReplyDeleteHi Doris, a friend of mine who is from Ipoh, would buy for me whenever she goes back to Ipoh. Yes, sometimes I used it to cook egg soup too :)
DeleteHello Ivy, I read your eggs posts and will try your steamed tofu egg with minced meat first. I am still looking to buy duck eggs to preserve but couldn't find any in the market.
ReplyDeleteHi Lian, you can substitute duck eggs with chicken eggs too. I got my duck eggs from the eggs wholesaler.
