Feelings: Sick. Tired and hungry
Mood: Wanna eat my food...but I guess I wanna write this blog too.
Do you know what's the hardest part about writing my blog? No, no...besides the fact that I am trying to write in proper English and never mind about me using big words. It's coming up with the name of the dish I prepared. It has been a couple posts but it hasn't got any easier. So from now on I'll just name all my dishes with the first thing that pops into my mind. Hopefully, it'll be as cool as the one I thought of today. Hey, if you think you have a better name then prepare it and write your own blog about it!!
Today recipe is a quick and dirty one. Well, just quick, I like my food clean. It's basically fried eggs with tomatoes. Why go all the trouble of frying eggs with tomatoes? If you have to ask, it's because it tastes much much better than regular fried eggs...duh! The time it took me to prepare was about the same time it took to cook two cups of white rice in my rice cooker. Actually, I finished a little before the rice finished cooking which included washing and cleaning the knife, cutting board, and bowl, etc.. Here's what it looks like on a bed of white steamed rice.
I'll call this dish: Bleeding Fried Eggs
Recipes:
3 Eggs
3 Roma tomatoes
Fish sauce, pepper, sugar, mushroom powder.
Garlic (optional)
Directions:
Wash and cut the tomatoes into small chunks.
Break the eggs into a bowl, mix it up with fish sauce, sugar, pepper and mushroom powder. Season the eggs to your liking.
Stir fry the tomatoes first. Flavor it with fish sauce, sugar, pepper and mushroom powder.
Pour the egg mixed over the tomatoes.
Lower and heat and cover the frying pan with the lid. It's done in about 5 minutes. It might be a little drippy but that's just the juice from the tomatoes.
The whole process should not take you more than 20 minutes and it serves two people. Well, maybe after your second try then it will take less than 20 minutes. It's good enough just to eat this with plain steamed rice but I went a little further. I ate it with the following plus a fresh chilli from my chilli plant...oh yeah!
I guess I just like veggies. But be careful about eating too much veggies, it may give you high cholesterol. No? It gave me high cholesterol. Ok, I am kidding. That was a joke from one of my coworkers. You have to know the whole story for it to be funny. More on the cholesterol at another time though. Enjoy!
******Tips******
If you don't mind garlic then it's a good idea to fry some chopped garlic to golden brown first before adding the tomatoes. This will give you an extra flavor and better aroma. Between the time I covered the frying pan with the lid, in the last step above, those five minutes, I washed and cleaned all the equipments that were used to prepare the ingredients.****************
The habanero plant I "stole" from another of my coworker's office.
This was when I first took it home.
I guess this was about 2 weeks after.
More on my chilli plants later. I am excited!!! There's going to be lots of chillies this summer.
