Bento: Plain Fried Rice

Assalamualaykum,

Breakfast? Lunch? Brunch? Brunch is the new term coined  when people starts combining their breakfast and lunch together. it is definitely not a healthy living. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Never skip your breakfast for a healthy living. Plus ..... take a healthy breakfast; not the nasi lemak and roti canai; our favourite.  ;-p

This is my breakfast. Plain fried rice with some sauteed mushroom. Extras.... I have it for lunch as well. It saves me from going out. It saves me from eating out. It saves my money as well. Eating home cooked food is always the best. But.....bento is not my everyday event. Only will do it if I have the will and energy to get busy in the kitchen at the wee hours in the morning.



This plain fried rice is extremely simple. And its our (my husband and me) favourite's. To make it, you only need:

1 bowl of cooked rice - cooled
1 egg
2 dried chillis - just break it into coarse pieces
Any vegetable that you like - i used the french means here
2 shallots
2 garlic
Salt to taste
1 1/2  tbsp cooking oil

To prepare it:
  1. Heat the cooking oil in the griddle or pan or wok. 
  2. Fry the shallots and garlic till fragrant or brownish.
  3. Add the beans and chillis.
  4. Break the egg into the pan. Let it half harden.
  5. Add rice. Mix everything well.
  6. Add salt to taste. Mix well. 
  7. Ready to eat.
For the sauteed mushroom:
1 bowl of mushroom - slice thinly
1 or two onions (depends on how you like it. I like to have 2 because I like onions)
2 tbsl olive oil

1. On a lower heat. Pour the olive oil.
2. Add the onion. Fry slowly till mushy and brownish.
3. Add mushrooms. Keep on stirring occasionally till the liquid is absorbed.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Ready for serving.

I normally prepared it ahead and refrigerated it. It can be used on burgers and sandwiches too. Simply delicious. Yummy.

Alhamdulillah. It's fast and easy.
Enjoy .......

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit

Masak lemak Daun Kaduk

Assalamualaikum Pokok kaduk tumbuh membiak di sekitar rumahku dengan suburnya. Adakalanya terpaksa dicantas buang kerana telah menyesakkan pandangan. Tertanya-tanya juga apa lagi yang boleh dibuat dengan daun kaduk ni. Kata pepatah, "Malu bertanya sesat jalan". Dalam bersembang-sembang bersama rakan sepejabat mengenai pokok-pokok herba ni, beliau mencadangkan untuk buat masak lemak daun kaduk, Sedap, katanya. Well, why not? Inilah hasilnya. Caranya: Balik dari pejabat, aku memetik beberapa helai daun kaduk (sebab ini peringkat percubaan makanya tak boleh masak banyak, bimbang jadi pembaziran pulak). Ada la dalam 20 helai daun kaduk.  Dicuci bersih.  Kemudian dicelur. (Celur untuk mengurangkan baunya. Kalau OK dengan baunya, tidak perlu celur) Sementara tu, aku mula mengopek bawang merah dan putih.  2 biji Cili api dipatah-patahkan aje (sebab malas nak menumbuk) Seterusnya, rebuskan saja bawang, cili api, ikan bilis dan serbuk kunyit.
