Fried Rice with Apple Cubes (Meatless Recipe)

This is a simple fried rice from scratch.  I had a red apple left and nobody seems to take the initiative to eat it and 2 stalks of almost wilted Chinese Leeks.  It's already end of the week and the next day I needed to replenish my fridge with fresh produce for the following week. Throw???  Better not!!!!  Whatever it is, THRIFTY is the word!  Yes, we need to be thrifty in our spending and throwing food is a big NO NO for me!  

Be creative and innovative in your cooking and you will be surprised you can actually save a lot!  End result? Simple and yummy fried rice for the whole family!

Ingredients :

- 3 bowls of leftover/over night rice (I used brown rice)

- 1 red apple (peeled and cubed)

- 2 stalks of Chinese Leeks (washed and cut)

- 3 eggs (beaten)

- 1/2 mashed salted egg white(I used the leftover from my previous cooking here, and  here,)

- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

- 3 red onions (finely chopped)

Seasonings : (to taste)

- salt

- pepper

- soy sauce

- dark caramel sauce

Method :

1)  Heat oil in a wok. Saute garlic and onion until aromatic.

2)  Add leeks and apple cubes and give it a quick stir.

3)  Add rice and mashed salted egg white.  Stir fry and mix well.

4)  Spread the rice evenly over the wok and pour beaten egg all over the rice.  When the egg has almost set, stir fry until fragrant.

5)  Add seasonings and keep stirring until the rice is well blended with the egg and the seasonings.

Serve hot.

Refreshing Sweet Potatoes Dessert

Having a bowl of refreshing sweet potatoes dessert on a lazy raining Sunday is heaven!  I would usually cook dessert during weekends when every member of my family is at home and we have time to enjoy it at our own sweet time instead of in a rush rush.

Ingredients :

- 4 medium sized sweet potatoes (peeled, cut and soaked in water so as to prevent it from turning dark, drained)

- 2 thumb sized ginger (crushed)

- 1 bunch of pandan leaves/screw pine leaves (washed, knotted)

- honeycomb sugar (to taste)

- enough water

Method :

1)  Fill water in a pot and add sweet potatoes and ginger.

2)  Bring to boil and let it simmer until the sweet potatoes is semi-cooked.

3)  Add pandan leaves and honeycomb sugar and continue to simmer until the potatoes are soft.

4)  Serve hot.

A very refreshing dessert.  Reduce the ginger is you are not a ginger lover.  As for me, I LOVE ginger and I like to add extra into the dessert.

Alternatively, you can also cook Barley with Sweet Potatoes (<-- click here for the recipe) too and it's also very refreshing.
