Mince pork noodles

A second edition of mince pork noodles.  I loved anything that goes with mince pork.  Earlier on, I posted recipe of I-fu noodles with mince meat.  I have a slight variation today.

By the way, I apogolize for updating my blog only once in every few months as I now focus more on my kids and I do try to find time to cook and hopefully I can keep this blog updated regularly. 

You could find updates on my kids via my other blog as well.

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Ingredients:

• 1 portion of fresh noodles 
• Around 115 gm of mince pork
• Dark soy sauce
• Light soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• Pinch of salt
• Garlic
• 1 egg
• Water

Method:

1. Marinate mince pork with dark soy sauce, sesame oil and salt for around 10 minutes.
2. Heat up wok and fry diced garlic till fragrant.
3. Add in the marinated mince pork, continue stir-fry for a while.
4. Whisk egg in a separate bowl and pour into 3.
5. Add in water after a while, let it simmer over low heat for at least 10 minutes.
6. In another pot, boil water and cook the noodles.
7. When the noodles are done, drain and serve in a plate.
8. Top with mince pork. (I added the instant chilli powder as well.)

[ I actually prepared and cooked the mince pork in more serving and keep them in the fridge, in which case I save time by cooking only the noodles whenever I want to have this dish. ]

Steam Egg With Pork

I am not in a good mood to cook various dishes today, but simply because I want my son to eat home-cook food, so I just made this dish up for his lunch. Instead of using the frying method, I use steaming this time to save time (and trouble).

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 8 mins

Ingredients:

• Minced Meat
• 1 Egg
• Water
• 1 teaspoon of Soy Sauce
• Pepper
  

Method:

1. Make sure minced meat is thawed completely. Season with soy sauce and pepper for a while.
2. Mash the meat in a shallow plate evenly so that they will not be too hard (big) later while you mix them with egg.
3. Pour beaten egg onto the meat mixture.
4. Using the same bowl which was for the beaten egg, notice the level of the egg and pour water to the level of the egg earlier on or if you like, a little bit more.
5. Note: The above step is to make the mixture soften, steaming minced meat with egg yolk will make the meat become hard. Adding water is to make it soft.
6. Steam 4. for around 8 minutes and serve.
   

Breakfast Sandwich

My hubby is having reservist this whole week, ZX will be staying at my MIL's place for these few nights if we are not able to bring him home. I thought I will have some "more" time to do my stuff. Ended up I can only go online at this time due to the house work.

Anyway, how's your Valentine's? Well, we did not celebrate, yeah, only 4 years since our marriage, with ZX, we think it's too "troublesome" to celebrate. :D

But no worry, we do celebrate other special occasions, Valentine's Day to me (now) is just an excuse for the business man to increase their price for everything. ;)

This was made for ZX's breakfast, not related to Valentine's though. Inspired by WokkingMum, she created "lovely" and tasty meals for her kids, I remember she used cookie cutter to make nicely cut fruits for her kids, I then used the cookie cutter to make rabbit shape for the sandwich, it was Papa's suggestion to add in the "eyes", it did not really match, but nobody cared, ZX finished all of them. :D I am just starting to try, forgive me that it's not so perfect but do give me some advice, if you have any. :)

Ingredients:

• 1 Egg
• 2 slices of white bread
• 1 slice of cheese
• Raisin

Egg With Mince Meat

My son is not eating well these few days. He has been eating out quite a lots during these holiday season. Mainly due to his lazy mummy who wants to enjoy herself rather than cooking for the family. :P

I stayed at home today to take care of my son as I think he has been eating quite oily stuff and thus causing his diarrhoea. I think for a sick toddler, home cook food (even a simple one) will be good.


This mince meat (again) dish is a recipe from my mum, I love this dish and all the kids (my nephews, niece) love it too. I always have this with porridge, but today I tried it with rice, not too bad, but I still prefer the former. :)

Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

• Mince meat
• 1 teaspoon of soya sauce
• 1 teaspoon of dark soya sauce (optional, I did not add today that is why the color of the dish shown in the photo is not so dark)
• 1 egg
• Garlic dice
  
• Oil
• Water
  

Method:

1. Add soya sauce to marinate the meat for a while.
2. Use a small pot to heat up oil in small fire. Add garlic and allow it to fragrant.
3. Add the meat into the pot and stir fry the meat quickly so that they will not stick together.
4. When the meat is almost done, mix and add the egg into the pot.
5. Add in dark soya sauce and some water, if it is too dry.
   
6. Cover the pot with a lid and continue cooking in small fire for around 5 minutes or until the dish is dry and serve.

Egg Omelettes With Cheese

This recipe was from my SIL, I don't know where she learnt this from, but it is a simple and quick breakfast. She actually prepared bacon and bake beans as well, since I think it will be quite a "heavy" breakfast for my son, so I did not get the bacon and bake beans for him now.

My son likes it so far and finish it within a short time. I served it earlier this time as I did not want it to be too hard though he actually prefers the egg to be cooked longer.

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 cheese stick or 1 slice of cheese
  

Methods:

1. Mix egg well in a bowl, heat up the frying pan (I use non-stick frying pan).
   
2. Pour egg into frying pan, when it is half cooked, cut cheese stick / slice of cheese into small pieces and spread them across the egg.
   
3. Fold egg into half and serve.
