SS: Easiest Way of Making Omurice

Good day people! I'm so excited as i just made a real perfect Omurice for lunch =) So ya, i'm gonna talk about my victorious attempt on making Omurice hahahah. It's actually not as difficult as it might look if u follow my tips lol.

The fried rice can be done in whatever way u like. I don't really like tomato base so i switch it to soy sauce with pepper. 

And for the egg, it is quite similar to making scramble eggs, but without the milk. Whisk the eggs and pour ALL into the pan under low fire. Then quickly scramble the eggs using the whisk, when it is 60-70% scrambled, leave it for few seconds for the base to form. Then, fold the egg into half with a spatula. Then slowly move the egg to the side of the pan by knocking on handle of the pan. It also help to slightly flip the egg. Lastly, when you think the omelette is nicely formed with no broken "skin", slowly pour the egg onto the rice. 

In japan, they will cut open the egg by gently drawing a long horizontal line with a knife. In my case, i cut the egg using the spoon, which achieve the same goal too.

I'm so proud of myself of making this dreamy omurice hahaha. Always wanted to eat a perfect omurice with nice fluffy eggs and here it is! 

SS: Japanese Egg Roll With Normal Round Pan

Hey people, I'm feeling kinda low today. Called the company i applied for and they told me the director is on leave so can't proceed my application, wtf. Therefore, i start calling to ask for part time jobs around my area. Which makes me feel kinda suck as my bf keep asking me to be piano teacher cos the job earns more. Well, i really don't like applying job just looking at the pay, if i can't enjoy the job, i feel like crap. Oh well, i can't talk much at this moment as i havent got any of the job. Waitress/sales assistant job is easy, just need to go there and get interview. Only the piano job needs further communication as i'm not sure how it works.

Oh well, end of the bad mood and let's start talking about the dish i'm sharing today.

Yes, another egg dish. Japanese egg roll! It looks so similar to the one selling in restaurant, this makes me feel proud as i used the normal flat pan instead of an egg roll pan to make it.

The steps were easy. I used 2 eggs with pinch of salt for flavour. Japanese sometimes also do sweet egg rolls so depends on what you like actually.

Pour 1/3 of the eggs into the pan under low fire. when it's 50% cook with some egg liquid on top, start folding the egg using the spatula. Gently fold it with the residue egg liquid as the glue. If you afraid it will be totally cook, you can remove the pan from the fire when you folding it. After you get a roll, pour in another 1/3 of the eggs and lift the egg roll at 45 degree to let the egg liquid go under the egg roll, then repeat the folding process. Lastly pour in the remaining eggs and repeat the process. When the roll is done, you can let the egg roll stay in the pan for a while to make the top looks a bit brownish as well as to double confirm the egg roll is cooked.

When serving, cut the egg roll into few equal portions so that you can eat it in easily. As the pan i used was round, both ends of the egg roll are relatively more flat than the middle part.

Another tips is to incorporate enough air into the egg liquid during the whisking process. This will make the eggs more fluffy.

And yes, i really love eating eggs therefore i love making egg dishes.

SS: 5 Minutes Perfect Scramble Eggs

Hola! Today i'm going to teach a very simple way of making scramble eggs, which takes only 5 minutes to make it.

As i love scramble eggs so much, i've been experimenting the best way of making it including trying out the Gordon Ramsey's method which is relatively tidious but nice. I mean, you won't go wrong with a Michelin chef right.

Anyway, i made scramble eggs for my brunch yesterday and i would love to share the recipe as the result turns out real good. What you need is 2 eggs, 1-2 tablespoons of milk (i substitute it with soya milk as i have no milk left) and seasoning including salt and pepper.

First, break the eggs and add in the milk and little pinch of salt for seasoning. Then, whisk the eggs vigorously to incoporate air so that the final product will be fluffy. However, be careful not to overdo and produce too much foam.

Heat the pan and put some butter or oil and turn to low fire. When the pan is not that hot, pour in the eggs. If the pan is too hot, the eggs will be cooked too fast and become omelette instead of scramble eggs haha.

Ok, COOKING TIPS! Straight away use the WHISK to scramble the eggs by gently stir clockwise/anti-clockwise. This will produce very nicely scrambled eggs. Also, the eggs will not stick to the whisk compared to a wooden spatula. Therefore, easy cleaning process =)

Serve the eggs when they reach the texture you desire with pinch of pepper on top.

I made toasts and mushroom soup as well! Toasts can be done by oven since i have no microwave at home. 200 degree celcius for 3-5 minutes will make perfect toasts =)

SS: 15 Minutes Dinner - Stir Fry Udon with Sesame Sauce

So, i cooked dinner for my dad last night. Fried udon with sesame sauce.

The ingredients were extremely simple, which include udon pack, the vegetables leftover from lunch, frozen meatballs, Japanese roasted sesame dressing, pepper and salt/soy sauce for the taste.

And this, is the final product. Looks colourful right? It's really easy to cook this dish, you just need about 15 minutes to get it done.

So first, what i did was to defrost the meatballs by putting it into the water and cut half when it is defrost. This will help the meatballs to get cooked evenly in a faster way. Then i cut the garlic and onions to small pieces. The amount is dependable on personal flavour. I don't exactly like garlic and onions so i just put a considerate amount to flavour the noodles, which is around 1 clove of garlic and half an onion.

So, pour oil when the pan is hot and put in the garlic and onion. Stir fry until the garlic turns golden and the onion starts smelling nice. Then, put in the meatballs and continue to stir fry the mixture. Then pour in some water to sort of simmer the meatballs to speed up the cooking process. When the meatballs are 80% cooked, pour in the udon noodles. I will advice to separate the noodles after taking out from the pack as they normally tend to stick together in the pack. You can also separate it after putting into the pan but that will be more difficult to achieve evenly cooked noodles.

When the udon noodles are almost cooked, put in the vegetables and 1 or 2 tablespoon of the sesame dressing. Also, little bit of pepper plus soy sauce (or salt) to flavor the noodles. Gently stir fry for few seconds and off the fire. If the noodles start sticking to the pan during the process, add in more water to separate them.

And that's done! As the vegetables are already cooked, you don't need to spend much time on cooking them. Lastly, put some garnish on top e.g. herbs and chilli flakes.

Well, my dad didn't say if it is nice or not, but he did finish all so i guess it tasted ok haha. Tomorrow, i'll let you all know what i cooked today =)

SS: The Eventful Long Weekend

Hello people! Today is the start of my Special Series posts, I'm so excited about it =)

As i said last week, i went to Malacca with my parents for a wedding lunch and therefore we depart in the morning on Friday. 

Puffy eyes as a result of waking up early in the morning. 

Didn't manage to update anything on Friday as i spent most of my time on the car thanks to the crazy heavy traffic in Malacca. But still, there were some happy moments, such as getting new clothes at 50-70% off sales and meeting up with some old good friends. 

Meeting friends with new top bought in the afternoon hahaha! I was talking so much with my two lovely friends that i nearly went voiceless at the end of the gathering. I guess i talk too much too furious haha. 

And the most eventful day will be Sunday. Went to watch Fast & Furious 6 with my bf and ended up getting minor food poisoning therefore went home straight after the movie. I am suspecting the culprit to be the KFC chicken. Damn. Should never eat anything in the cinema again! Too dark too dangerous. The movie was quite good, especially all the action parts and the car racing parts. Excited to see the London landmarks that i went before. Well, it will be a long series like SAW so i'm guessing the movie is good as long as the car and action parts are good. Oh and their opening theme song was good! Love that song. It reminds me of Katy Perry's Alien. 

So, today will be my first day cooking for my dad and i have some leftovers of vege this afternoon. Gonna make a fried udon using the leftovers as well as the experimenting sauces. Hope it will be nice! Will let you all know tomorrow =)
