Fried Eggs with Chai Poh

After making carrot cake, I still had a lot of preserved turnip left so I had to think of ways to use them up instead of leaving it forgotten in my fridge.


My grandmother cooks this type of eggs in a really frightening way. No chai poh, A LOT of light soy sauce, A LOT of pepper and when I say A LOT, it's really A LOT.

Maybe like 5 tbsp of soy sauce?

Oh well, pardon the chao ta bits on the eggs and this is how I make my chaipoh eggs.

Ingredients

1. 3 eggs
2. 2 tbsp of chai poh

Directions

1. Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl
2. Put chai poh in and mix.
3. Fry!

Cheese Scrambled Eggs

This is how I like my scrambled eggs to be like. Wet, cheesy and super eggy.

It isn't the 'right' way to cook this but it's how I made mine.

Ingredients

1. 1 tsp of oil
2. 2 eggs
3. 1 piece of Chedder cheese
4. Parsley and chilli flakes
5. Dash of pepper

Directions

1. Heat up oil in pan
2. Break the eggs and start stirring. Take pan away from heat occasionally but continue stirring.
3. Add a piece of cheese and a dash of pepper. Keep stirring.
4. Serve on plate and garnish with parsley and chilli flakes.

I love egg with cheese but as I've mentioned, my mum hates it and claimed that it makes her want to gag. 

Scrambled Eggs

I had some left over cream in the fridge after making tiramisu the other day so I made some scrambled eggs.

I've always liked my scrambled eggs with cheese but mum said that it's so cheesy that it makes her wanna puke. 

Sigh. People don't know how to appreciate cheese. This version ain't cheesy at all and it has a creamy consistency.

Ingredients (serves 1)

1. 2 eggs
2. 1/4 tbsp thickened cream (i used thickened cream because I want to finish using the leftovers. You can always substitute it with other types)
3. Dried parsley and chilli flakes
4. Butter
5. Grated black pepper
6. Salt (optional)

Directions

1. Add butter to the saucepan and break the eggs into it. 
2. Turn on the heat and keep whisking the eggs.
3. As it thickens, take the saucepan away from the heat and continue stirring to prevent it from being too dry.
4. Put the pan back to the heat and continue stirring.
5. Keep on taking it away and putting it back while stirring till you get your desired scrambled eggs.
6. Once you get your desired consistency, add in cream and add salt and pepper.
7. Garnish with chilli flakes and parsley.

I like to garnish all my eggs with parsley but you don't have to do that!

Hollandaise Sauce

I had always wanted to try eggs benedict but I didn't have the chance. I bought some lemon yesterday and decided that today is the day I'm gonna have eggs with lemon juice?

I mean, who the hell mixes their eggs together with lemon juice?

I toasted a slice of bread and poached an egg to go with it. My egg still seemed like a phail.

The sauce had a strong lemon flavour to it. It's super nice though I still find something missing. My search goes on.

Egg with cheese on toasted bread

I cooked dinner but they need a lot of polishing and are definitely not post-worthy.
I've always loved the idea of an all day breakfast. I crave for breakfast late at night. Well, maybe that's because I'm an egg lover. I like all types of eggs.

This is a really easy peasy dish but really yummy!



Ingredients

1. 1 egg
2. 1 slice of bread
3. Mozzarella cheese
4. Parsley flakes
5. Chilli flakes
6. Black pepper(optional)
7. Butter

Directions

1. Place some butter into the frying pan and fry the egg till the egg white is set but the yolk still runny. (Lower the fire but put the lid on.)
2. Place the bread into the bread toaster.
3. Place the egg onto the bread and add cheese onto the egg.(cheese will melt as there's heat or alternatively, you can place the bread with egg and cheese into the toaster and toast till the cheese melts.)
4. Garnish with parsley and chilli flakes.
5. Sprinkle some black pepper(optional)
6. Serve immediately.

Definitely one of my favourite egg breakfast dish.

Steamed eggs

I loveeeeeee the steamed eggs my boyfriend's mum cooks. I got the recipe from her the other day!

Ingredients

1. 2 century eggs
2. 2 chicken eggs
3. 1 salted egg
4. 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Crack the salted egg into a bowl/plate for steaming. Use a chopstick/fork/spoon to spread the egg yolk.
2. Crack both chicken eggs into the bowl.
3. Use a chopstick to stir the mixture. Do not beat for too long as there will be bubbles.
4. Chop the century eggs into small cubes or pieces and add them into the mixture.
5. Pour 1/2 cup water into the mixture and stir with a chopstick. Do not stir too violently.
6. Cover the bowl/plate with a lid and put it in the steamer.
7. Serve hot.

There you go! It might not be the sexiest looking food but it sure taste amazing.

Ps. My steamed egg ain't smooth cuz my aluminium foil stuck to the egg. zzzzz.
