Sweet Fragrant Mint Omelette (Meatless Recipe)

As I was flipping through my old collection of recipe magazines (which have been collecting dust, hehehe...), I happened to see a very simple omelette using mint leaves.  I have never tried mint omelette and was telling myself why not give this a try as mint is a very healthy herb and moreover I have homegrown mint leaves.

This recipe is adapted from Y3K (33) pg 9 with some modifications.

As mentioned in the Y3K, mint leaves have medicinal properties especially for those who are prone to have 'windy stomach'.  However, too much mint leaves may cause your dish to taste bitter.  So, don't be 'greedy' ok?

My version or amendments are in red.  Adjust or add any ingredients according to your taste or preference.

Ingredients :

- 50g mint leaves/daun pudina (I used a handful)

- 2 eggs (6 eggs, beaten)

- 1 tomato (cubed)

- 3 fresh Swiss button mushrooms (sliced)

- some oil

Seasonings : (to taste)

- 1/2 tsp salt

- some soy sauce

Method :

1)  Mix all the ingredients together except soy sauce.

2)  Heat some oil in a wok and pour in the egg mixture.

3)  Flip over when the omelette has set.

4)  Fry until both sides are golden brown.  Turn off the heat.

5)  Drizzle some soy sauce to taste.  Stir and mix well. 

Serve.

My children don't like mint leaves but surprisingly they love this mint omelette!  They are asking me to cook this omelette again!!!

Isn't this a good idea to get your children to start eating mint leaves????

Awesome Devilled Egg Topped with Salmon Caviar

When I saw Baby Sumo's Devilled Eggs and Guai Shu Shu's, I know I must make this.  The name DEVIL also attracted my curiosity to give this a try.  Oh Gosh!  This is so yummy and easy to make.  You can be creative with the seasonings or add any of your favourite ingredients.  Let your imagination runs wild....  This is indeed a very interesting egg dish and a keeper too.

Ingredients used are very simple and the seasonings can be varied depending on your taste.

This recipe is adapted from Baby Sumo with some minor modifications.

Ingredients :

- 4 hard boiled eggs (shelled)

- 1.5 tbsp mayonnaise

- 1 tbsp butter

- 1/4 pcs cheddar cheese

- a dash of salt

Seasonings/Toppings : (depending on individual's preferences)

- a dash of grated nutmeg

- some mustard

- some salmon caviar

Method :

1)  Halve the hard boiled eggs lengthwise and carefully remove the egg yolks into a bowl.

2)  Mash the yolks with a fork.

3)  Add cheese, mayonnaise, butter and salt.  Mix well into smooth paste.

Oops, forgotten to take a shot of the ready smooth paste :(

4)  Scoop or use a plastic piping bag to pipe the egg yolk mixture into the hollow egg whites.

5)  Grind some nutmeg powder on top of the eggs. 

6) Then, top it with some salmon caviar.

7)  You can omit the salmon caviar and just top it with some mustard or you may also top it with both salmon caviar and mustard too.

Do these Devilled Eggs give you cold sweat????

Or are you already drooling............????

Here's a treat for you... :)

Isn't this a perfect party food?

Fragrant Golden Fried Pearl White Rice (Meatless Recipe)

I have wanted to cook golden fried rice for the past few days but if I am to use brown rice for this, the outcome may not be that great.  You see, we have been consuming brown rice for more than 15 years and occasionally I would buy white rice if there's any recipe that need it or give better result if used white rice. Then, I remember I still have a packet of Sekinchan pearl white rice and decided to use it.  The rice is pearl white and I know if I would to fry it with egg yolks, the colour would be great.

This rice is very yummy if used it to cook porridge :)

Look at the rice; oblong shape and glossy white

This golden fried rice is adapted from Y3K Recipe 73 pg 24

This is a very simple, quick and yummy fried rice.  It's my first time trying out this golden fried rice and we love it.  We had it with simple stir fried bok choy and chicken soup.  A very simple but satisfying meal :)

Ingredients :

- 4 bowls of cold cooked rice

- 2 hard boiled salted duck egg yolks (I used homemade salted duck eggs)
- 4 egg yolks

- cooking oil (I used ghee oil)

Seasonings : (to taste) I omitted the seasonings as my homemade salted duck eggs is already quite salty

- pepper

- salt

Method :

1)  Mashed the salted duck egg yolks.
2)  Add egg yolks to the  cold rice.

3)  Mix well the egg yolks with the rice.

4)  Heat oil in a wok and add mixed egg yolk rice.  Stir fry and mix well until aromatic.

5)  Add mashed salted duck egg yolk.  Stir and mix well until aromatic.

6)  Add seasonings if necessary and serve.
