Fried Yam cake

The post is long overdue.
After i made Yam cake back in June, the rest of June is eating yam cake, yam cake amd more yam cake.

Though i 'dispose' of 2 trays by giving 1 tray each to my mum and MIL, i still have 2 trays i have to finish up. Gave 1/4 tray to a friend, remaing 1 and 3/4 i have to find a way to finish up.

On weekdays, i will simply microwave it and bring it to office for breakfast.
For weekend treats and for light dinner, i will make fried yam cake.

When i was in chinatown market to buy yam, i saw this 'fresh' preserved chye por (preserved raddish). Instead of the usual prepacked minced chye por u find in supermarkets, this one is sold in huge tubs. I asked for $2 worth and ended up with approximately 20 strips of finger sized chye por. When i was in sec sch, i remember my auntie always goes to Thailand and returns with chye por like these. They are sweet, crunchy and not saltish at all.

The ones in Chinatown tastes the same :) Delicious Chye por lost and found!

What do you need?
- Minced garlic in oil
- 1/4 pack of minced pork
- 4 strips of chye por (diced coarsely)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 tray of yam cake (diced 1 inch cubes)

How to do it?
Heat pan without oil, fry the chye por until dry and fragrant.
Add minced garlic in oil, and minced pork.
Fry until garlic and pork is nicely browned.


Add a little more oil before adding yam cake.


Mix well, lay out the yam cake on the pan to brown evenly for 3-5 mins.

Crack eggs into a bowl, add a dash of soya sauce and pepper, mix well and pour into pan.

Turn over after 3-5 mins when underside is brown.


Cut into 4 large pieces and serve on plate.

Birthday celebration

This yr we have planned to celebrate hubby's birthday dinner with his family.

So the day before his birthday i cooked his favourite tenderloin, sausage and salad.



And on the morning of this birthday, i cook mee sua with red husk paste (with chicken and mushroom).

Not forgetting 2 hardboiled eggs for longevity! Thought i did very well but later that night realise that i am not suppose to peel the egg for him. The birthday boy is suppose to peel the eggs himself :(

ok lor, less work for me next yr!

Bak Kua fried egg

-_-""



What you need?
2 pieces of leftover bak kua (cut into 2cm by 2cm cubes using the kitchen scissors)
2 eggs

How to do it?
Crack eggs into a bowl, add 2 teaspoon of soya sauce and dash of pepper
Beat well.

Heat pan with a little olive oil, place bak kua into the pan and fry for 2 mins, taking care not to burn them.

when u see the bak kua is soften and excess oil purged out into the pan, push them to the sides and pour in the beaten egg.

Fry for another 2-3 mins for the egg to turn into a nice light brown, remove from heat and serve.

Fried french bean with ikan bilis and eggs

What you need?
- 1 packet of french beans (wash, trim off both ends, cut into 1 inch length)

- 2 eggs
- minced garlic in oil



How do you do it?
Heat wok, stir fry garlic in olive until slightly brown

push beans to the side of the pan and crack 2 eggs at the sides


Wait 1 min for the eggs to be 50% cooked before mixing the egg with french bean. This will ensure that pieces of eggs are visible and yet lightly coating the beans.

Add the oyster sauce to taste

Quickly stir to mix well before serving
