Do you feel that Chinese New Year is
approaching??
Yes, of course I know we have not past Christmas yet.
For me, it’s always Chinese New Year. Frankly, I have not seen such anticipation in
anyone else.
Me: Lailai, north wind's blowing, Chinese New Year coming's you
know?
Mother-in-law (smiling): Goodness, how old are you??
Oooh ... I love this.
I love it with ketchup.
My kids love it with maple syrup or honey.
Should be good with any kind of jam, right?
So easy, so fast, no exact measurement is needed.
It's all agaration (estimation). I realized I am cooking
with agaration more and more. I used to
complain about my dear mother-in-law not being precise … sign of aging??
Almost impossible to get this wrong.
If you did, er.... no comments.
Ingredients
6 slices of sandwich bread
2 eggs
40ml of milk, I don’t measure, I aga-aga (estimate)Pepper to taste
Soy sauce to taste, I use about half teaspoon
Cooking oil or butter
Directions
1. Mix all ingredients except bread together in a wide
shallow bowl, and stir to incorporate well.
2. Heat a flat pan, low to medium heat, and oil pan
with cooking oil or butter.
3. Soak bread in egg mixture, both sides, till bread
is coated with egg.
4. Pan fried under low/medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on
each side.
5. Remove from pan onto a plate.
6. Drizzle with choice of dressing or simply eat it on
its own.
This is a good way to handle not-so-soft bread, or the head and tail slices of a loaf. I make scramble egg with the left over egg mixture.
