Fried Rice and Eggs

The other day I got home very late after being held for hours in traffic. I was cold and tired and was looking around the kitchen for a quick fix as usual. I had eggs, frozen green peas, and rice. I decided to try out a one pot dish and I was not disappointed.

What I had

·         ½ cup uncooked rice

·         Green Peas

·         2 Eggs

·         1 Large Onion chopped

·         3 Tomatoes diced

·         3 Bunches of Dhania

·         Mashed 5 cloves of garlic

What to do

·         Add rice to boiling water and boil for 5 minutes.

·         Remove from heat and set the half-cooked rice aside.

·         Beat the eggs in a dish

·         Fry the onion, garlic and tomatoes with vegetable oil in a separate saucepan

·         Add the green peas

·         Add the spices you desire, could be pepper, soy sauce or mixed spices

·         Add the rice into the mixture and stir to spread the sauce into the rice

·         Continuously stir so the mixture does not stick (The water from the half-cooked rice should be enough)

·         Stir the beat eggs into the mix

·         Stir the chopped dhania into the mix too

·         Reduce the heat and cover to fully cook the rice

As always, you can alter the recipe like substitute the green peas with carrots or French beans.

If it doesn’t work the first time, try again. This works for all recipes. Enjoy!

Minced Meat and Spaghetti in the same pot!

One of the challenges of we single people is to wash two pots after cooking. This is why I came up with this recipe that you just have to use one pot. Genius, right? So anyway, mincemeat and spaghetti is a common dish. Whereby you make the mincemeat stew aside and boil the spaghetti in a separate pot. Well, the fixer in me tried to have them together and it was edible! See what I did.

What you need:

·         A ¼ kilo of mincemeat

·         1 packet of Spaghetti ( I doubt you will use the whole packet)

·         1 capsicum (pilipili hoho)

·         3 bunches of dhania

·         One large onion

·         3 tomatoes

·         Spices to taste

·         Salt to taste

What to do

I always boil all kinds of meat before I cook. I like soft meat.

·         Boil the mincemeat, just ¼ cup of water will be enough. As it boils prepare the ingredients.

·         After 10 minutes add the chopped onion, tomato and capsicum into the now dry mincemeat

·         Add vegetable oil. Not too much, mincemeat has its own fat.

·         Add any spice you desire. I use beef cubes.

·         Stir till the ingredients are well cooked and mixed with the mincemeat. (You can tell from the sweet smell)

·         Add a 1 ½ cupful’s of water

·         Let it boil

·         Cut your spaghetti into shorter bunches and put them in the boiling broth and stir to achieve a mix.

·         Add your chopped Dhania into the mix and stir

·         Reduce the heat on the cooker so the boiling is slow.

·         It’s ready to eat when the water is dried up and it’s not soggy. 

Enjoy! If it burns, try again till you get it right.
